      Senior Manager Interview

      Jan 4, 2018
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Sterling, VA
      No offer
      Positive experience

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at BAE Systems (Sterling, VA) in Sep 2017

      Interview

      I was referred by an existing employee. It took a few months before receiving contact from Recruiting. Once contacted, interview was scheduled within a week. I had a face to face interview with the hiring manager, Judith Rackens, as well as another Director associated with the position via conference call. Together, both interviewed thoroughly regarding job knowledge, experience and personal attributes and management style. It was a comfortable and professional interview. I was disappointed I was not selected however I received a personal email from Ms. Rackens regarding the decision and feedback from the interview. It was overall a great experience once the interviewing process began. Given the thorough interview, I believe it would be a great place to work.

      Senior Manager Interview

      Anonymous employee

      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at BAE Systems

      Interview

      One call with HR and one meeting with line manager then an offer. In retrospect this was pretty suspicious for such a senior role. I wish I had asked more questions and met more people as there were a great many surprises when joining, few of them positive.
