      Big is not always better

      Pros

      Has a good reputation as an employer. Great if you are a skilled engineer or project manager. Exciting products and proud when you see a ship complete and being handed over to the Navy.

      Cons

      Working in a political goldfish bowl makes it difficult to do your job sometimes. Constant changing goalposts. Benefits are not strong enough for a modern plc company. Holidays too rigid. Managers are a tough position to be in as you get squeezed from above and below and the rewards are not as good as you would get elsewhere.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Leading edge thinking, robust practices and continuous evolution to innovate, leaders well trained and generally good employee relations. Opportunities to travel and work with other parts of the businesses and overseas. Very strong functions and clear routes to develop supported by solid training. Staff conditions generally very good and pay and benefits excellent. Strong safety culture and teamwork approaches. Also very strong project management across all disciplines.

      Cons

      Complex and many things can take time to get approved due to the layers sometimes it can be frustrating. Many sites really adhere to project disciplines and approval routes that can stop local innovation. Scale can be daunting to navigate at first
