Pros

-job security. you NEVER get fired. occasional firing is due to either management making an example of you, or you do something to lose your security clearance. -low stress. -flexible hours. -i guess river view is nice.

Cons

-job security. no one cares since people NEVER get fired. half the people here dont do anything. im not exaggerating. -seniority based review. you worked hard and took up extra responsibilities? thats nice, take ur 2% raise, congrats. u didnt do anything? u also get 2%, good for you. -parking. if you dont show up by 530AM, no parking for you. -no graduate educational support. they changed policy circa 2014 to make it almost impossible to get further education with company support. young engineers, run. -Groton / New London. no one wants to be here. -niche skill. EVERYTHING is submarine-specific. 90% skills you learn here are either inapplicable elsewhere or cannot be disclosed. if you spend too long here, youre more or less stuck here because your skills are utterly useless elsewhere.

Pros

This is a last resort job if you can’t find anything else

Cons

The processes and systems in place to get the job done is dismal. There is no official training for the job role. If you make suggestions and try to be helpful you are seen as a threat by management. There is rarely any cross functional communication. It feels like they want things to take a long time and be wrong so that they can charge the govt. more money. (Bc every task you do will have a charge number). Most long timers at the company don’t care about the work being done inefficiently either, bc they have a reason for overtime. Very weird corporate politics / favoritism. (I have never seen it as bad as it is here). Parking is terrible at every location.
