How employees describe working at Ball Aerospace
I feel valued. My managers listen to what I want out of my career, see my strengths, help me develop myself, and create opportunities for me. I love the people I work with! My biggest concerns with Ball are the increasing share of work from military and defense, and the upcoming acquisition by BAE.
I had an experienced, competent hiring manager do my interview. I cannot say I have seen this replicated in many years.
My time at Ball was long. I dreaded my days, and I dreaded the long hours of harassment that haunted my working space. I wouldn't recommend Ball to my worst enemy, and I only hope for the downfall of Ball.
Really solid company that takes care of their people.
Ball's inflexibility will prevent them from attracting and keeping top talent

Q&A With Ball Aerospace Employees
IDX: 0 TOT: 26
What's the interview process like at Ball Aerospace?
Depends on position. I was a software engineer in Lafayette, and it was a pretty standard process. I hear the Boulder campus can be a bit more involved.
That would depend on the division you are applying to work in. Where I work there is usually a phone interview followed by an in-person interview if the first one went well. Then potentially a really long waiting game while other candidates are interviewed. For where I am, I know if the interview doesn't last at least 30 minutes... the hiring manager is not interested in continuing the conversation
What benefits does Ball Aerospace provide?
