BAE Systems Ranks among 100 Best Places to Work in Information Technology.

MCLEAN, Va. -- BAE Systems has been selected by International Data Group's Computerworld, the "Voice of IT Management," as one of the top places to work for information technology (IT) professionals. This honor is part of the publication's 15th annual Best Places to Work in IT survey, which ranks the top 100 companies based on excellence and quality of work environment.

"BAE Systems has a long history of commitment to its employees as well as to its customers," says Rick Shieffelin, president of BAE Systems Information Technology. "This is equalled by the importance we place on creating a culture and ethical working environment that attracts, engages and retains a diverse mix of the best and brightest people."

The Best Places to Work list is an annual ranking of the top 100 work environments for technology professionals. The lists are compiled based on a comprehensive questionnaire regarding company offerings in categories such as benefits, diversity, career development, training and retention. Computerworld conducts extensive surveys of IT workers, and their responses factor heavily in determining the rankings.

"Being among the Best Places to Work in IT means crafting a blend of employee advantages that includes the potential for flexible hours, competitive pay, excellent benefits, a supportive leadership environment, opportunities for ongoing training and advancement, and ultimately, the feeling that you'd like to stay with the company a long, long time," said Scot Finnie, editor in chief of Computerworld.

The Best Places to Work feature appeared in the June 30 issue of Computerworld and online at Computerworld.com/2008bestplaces.
