Culture at BAE Systems Australia

The culture is dependent in my level of interaction with the team depending on calendar. The hierarchy is clear and easy to navigate. There is limited socialising amongst colleagues but I have healthy relationships with my surrounding team members. I have not interacted with any work colleagues in after hours.

The team I am under is very relaxed and everyone is pretty approachable. It isn't too hard to arrange meetings and most members can just be called up without having to organise a meeting at all. This makes it very easy to get help or any information needed to perform the task at hand. Everyone in the team is also willing to help when needed if they are not too busy themselves. The members that work up in Cairns also hold some infrequent BBQs where we get together and socialise outside of work hours.

The people are great, friendly and up for a chat. There's normally after work drinks every couple of months. Managers etc are very approachable - they don't feel like your boss

Great culture in office, and friendly and social after hours.

Very much dependent on team - all the teams I have been a member of were great to work within at work. Most of the teams also have a good social life (optional) outside of work as well.

There is a high degree of cooperation, teamwork and social interaction within the workplace. there is a clear hierarchy of roles but team members are often shared between project teams. when teams are in the office, there is a great social environment but due to most teams coming in only 2 days a week into office, there isnt much interaction outside those two days

There is a strong focus on health and wellbeing with everyone ensuring that each person is not only doing well throughout their work, but also in their home life. There is flexibility with working life to also ensure that everyone is able to make time for their families and hobbies. Socialising with everyone is also enjoyable where the emphasis is to not always talk about work, ensuring a healthy work life balance.

Socially, I find it very easy to get along with everyone within my organisation regardless of their position. I have worked closely with higher managers who have always treated me in a friendly and respectful manner which makes it easy for me to approach them for assistance and guidance. Outside of work, we do have social events such as trivia nights, or camping trips which allows us to connect with each other stronger.

Usually respectful of each other, professional conduct is upheld most of the time. Everyone is friendly and helpful. Managers and leaders are approachable. Social culture is good, lots of social talk between working.

The cultural expectation of work life balance and performance seems extremely healthy. Managers are often understanding of when deadlines cannot be met or issues are brought up within our timelines. The hierarchical communication lines can often cause issues and shareholders can often slow down workflows as they do not have the bandwidth to perform your top priorities when they have theirs. My own Commercial team has always been very helpful whenever I have needed any assistance, but I think this approach is held by all shareholders and doesn't reach beyond them into other parts of the business.

Great inclusive and supportive team

Culture is excellent, people are incredibly friendly and accommodating no matter what experience level you have and there seems to be no barrier between graduates, apprentices and managers. Though there does at times feel like there's certainly a distance between more lower-level employees like graduates and very senior leaders of the business (such as directors and executives, etc.). During working hours employees are very pleasant, knowledgeable and easy-going. I haven't had the chance to interact yet with colleagues after hours so cannot comment on this aspect.

the corporate culture is inviting, hard working and determined. I have had a super positive experience with my team, with the ability to work flexibility from various locations. My managers so far have been super understanding and accommodating when I have an appointment or need to work from home. my experience so far is a culture that encourages you to be your best and will be there to support you if you would like to develop further in a particular skill or area. we also have a huge safety culture which is vital to the business - to ensure everyone goes home safe everyday.

The company culture at BAE is great. While at work I feel I have the freedom to manage my time and complete the tasks given to me without someone looking over my shoulder or micromanaging me. In saying that, I have always felt comfortable approaching people to ask for help when needed. I have felt included and quite comfortable from day one. Right from the junior people in the company through to senior management everyone has been friendly and approachable. For the most part everyone works well as a team, with some minor issues here and there. Outside of work I am able to fully switch off because I know people at BAE respect your personal time and that you are not at work. We also have a social club which means we can catch up with colleagues without being at work.

Whether it flows through all levels or not the surface level culture is good and I believe the executive leadership team is making a genuine effort to reflect a good culture through the company.

Most of the team seems to connect really well socially when it comes to jokes and friendliness in the office. Good teamwork where no opinion is a bad opinion, just need to be able to explain your logic.

Internally culture is professional. Despite the traditional chain of command, each level is approachable and open to flexibility. Social engagement is beneficial as relationships with employees extend beyond the working day.

People in the office are friendly and approachable both in the office, online or at after hours events. Executive and senior leadership mingle with non-management people. It's really easy to get help both within your own team and from other teams.

Every business unit and team have very different culture. Some have fitted closer to my personality and some haven't, it's all about where you are most comfortable. I think you can find a team that suits you best in a company like this. The graduate network tends to promote some after-hours events but as far as I'm aware the rest of the company does not tend to do any sort of social activities outside of work hours. The culture during work is great, everyone I've worked with has been friendly, helpful, often extremely knowledgeable and very willing to help and support your development.

Very strong Work From Home culture which heavily impacts cooperation and teamwork in a negative way because its hard to get to know your team. Socialising with colleagues is minimal.
