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.
Really solid company that takes care of their people.
Ball's inflexibility will prevent them from attracting and keeping top talent
This is a great company

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?
Fewer and fewer each year, unfortunately.
