Hi all,

I have just been told I have reached the AC of the BAE Finance Leaders Development Programme. I was wondering if anyone knew what this consisted of, either in previous years or even better this year? And how best to prepare for it?

Regards,

D

Hi, You do online application, online tests, then application is sifted by recruiting managers. Which stage are you up to?

My A C is around 20th June.

I've been told that my application has been sent to management for sifting but that was almost two weeks ago so im hoping to hear back soon. Where is ur assessment day?

I seem to remember mine took 2~4 weeks, which is about right for the size of company.

Mine is nr Preston, are you from round here.

Let me know how you get on.

Well I had a phone call this morning but I had an exam shortly after so I asked if they could ring me back. The guy said he would at 430pm but he hasn't. I tried ringing their number from the website but to no avail..I'll try again tomorrow..

I live down in Newbury but I have family up in Manchester.

DONT WASTE TIME WITH BAE! I am so disappointed in their recruitment process. The whole process is outsourced. My experiences was this:

I cleared all the levels required to push my application only to later hear after a month of waiting that I am not invited to the assessment centre cause BAE HQ after clearing my online testes, UCAS points, interviews, etc rejected cause the finance team thinks other wise. I am an MBA with a focus on finance, I am studying towards CFA what more can one require!

This is not just with the Graduate Development Programme but also the Sigma Leadership Programme who later after clearing everything told me that they cannot sponsor foreign students and simple wasted my time! BAE claims to have operations is Saudi Arabia and clearly states they support foreign talent is welcome but the truth is far from the claim.
