Management at BAE Systems Australia

The accessibility depends on the manager, not all are equally busy. From my experience the manager will always make time for their workers, and will be helpful in discussing your future and things that you should consider.

Very accessible and make very good mentors. They have all got a wealth of knowledge and experience they are always willing and keen to share.

My managers have been very accessible and provided helpfully direct, constructive feedback.

Within my team, the managers are fantastic, really eager to teach and give regular constructive feedback and praise.

The managers are approachable, friendly and always provide good communication and feedback

My Manager is accessible and is very inspiring. When I have meetings with my Manager she always says thank you for my hard work and achievements which I really appreciate it.

So far they have been very approachable, upfront in terms of communication and updates, and often looking to provide praise and recognition for hard workers.

At my current position. I don't really see my line manager. I probably get to speak to him 1-2 a week at most. I would like to have a more in depth conversations about my work and how I can improve but I'm aware he has lots of other members under him and he's too busy.

My immediate managers have been nothing but nice and supportive to my career

I have a great relationship with my line manager and there's a definite view for career progression.

Management for my team largely seems to be based interstate. Due to the lack of day-to-day contact it can feel like there is some disconnect and difficulty in building workplace relationships with them.

Just about everyone is very approachable, especially management and even the directors. People are actively encouraged to have a chat and ask questions. Some managers are understandably very busy and mightn't always have the opportunity for direct feedback but in my case, they have delegated this within a buddy system where I receive constant positive feedback. Where things haven't gone right in terms of my tasks, these are seen as learning opportunities and it becomes a simple discussion about where things went wrong and what the correct process is. I have not encountered anything other than positive interactions.

Although my manager has so much on their plate, they generally schedule in 30 minutes per day for me for technical questions or any other general questions. They never make me feel uncomfortable asking questions or even admin questions and will make the time to call during the day when possible to assist me. We are able to have open and honest conversations about my progression and they are very open to feedback and ask for it where necessary. Performance feedback is never given in a negative manner and is always achieved through discussion and explanation, although I have never received negative feedback on my work, just areas for improvement - which is much more productive. Praise and recognition also come easy to my manager and team, where they will call out good work in team meetings where necessary.

Very accessible, great mentors that give good feedback when requested.

All managers within my team/department are down to earth and approachable. Most managers are interested and available for providing guidance, mentoring and advice.

The managers at this company are excellent. they have been incredibly helpful and a font of knowledge that they are more than willing to pass on. As a graduate I have a Line manager, Graduate Mentor, and work buddy. If I ever have a question I can always ask any of them, if not one of the many team members in our group chat. My managers are always providing praise and feedback, and are never shy to tell me when I have made a mistake and will take me through the correct steps to resolve it.

My manager is a great mentor as well as team member

Very accessible. All leaders are good to talk with and good mentors, contribute well to the good atmosphere. Some slightly difficult to reach at times due to other commitments

Most managers are good and flexible with time / personal leave, but haven't had any training on being managers

Very easy to talk to my manager, always helping me.
