  • 9a. Would you recommend BAE Systems to a friend?
  • Yes


  • 9b. Why?
  • Why wouldn't I. The pay prospects, the people, the product, the environment are all spot on. The workload and apprenticeship studies are also interesting.


  • 10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to BAE Systems?
  • Keep applying. If you aren't successful in the first year, ask and take onboard the feedback and work on this. A lot of apprentices have been taken on after being rejected in previous years.
