Salary at BAE Systems

Really competitive

They pay is very good for the expected hours, certainly when compared with other companies I was looking at for a graduate position.

It's the industry average. Ramps from 69-80k including super over 2 years.

Pay and bonuses above industry average.

I have scheduled salary reviews every 6 months which gives me the opportunity to talk about my pay.

Though I am a PhD graduate but my salary is similar to Undergraduate.

The pay is competitive, too soon to tell regarding bonuses.

Pay is acceptable but has potential to be more attractive.

It is decent for the experience I have and there is opportunity to increase it in the future.

I was previously employed at a higher salary but chose to come to this company because of the opportunities for career progression - this was ultimately more important than the higher salary and company car I was getting but for 3 years no possibility in sight of moving upwards and learning in a new role, hence why I left to enter a graduate role. I find the starting salary for graduates fair and reasonable at BAE. I come with extra experience, but I find that the salary moves up every 6 months so whilst the adjustment was difficult at the beginning, the negatives have far been outweighed by the positives of what salary I can eventually be on after a few years with BAE.

Really well structured and the salary reviews( bumps) are integrated into the graduate program so that way there opportunities are salary increments over the course of the program

Pay is good for a grad program overall BUT was disappointed that we were not informed that the grad program pay is on a "sliding scale" meaning we get 80% of pay in first rotation, then 85% the next, etc. They drew me in with what felt like a false base. I am still making an ok amount but this raised alarm bells for me

Annual salary increases are based on performance, this increase could always be better. Bonuses are not available for junior levels.

Well planned, and the company is up-front about this, making the discussion quite natural.

Great salary with yearly shares from the company. Graduate program offers a half yearly pay increase for two years.

Slightly below average of the market, bonus in the form of shares escrowed for 3 years. Complicates tax return for rather little gain.

Great. I was told that pay salary are reviewed every 6 months for the grad program.

Average pay, no bonuses. lack of information from HR on this issue, seems like a closed shop - VERY disappointing.

As part of the Graduate program you are on a rewards based pay increase, which basically means if you are doing your job you are guaranteed a pay increase every 6 months. The salary is not as high as some other places but it is competitive enough.

The pay is above industry average however could be more competitive to other prime integrators.
