Pros

Your opportunities at Electric Boat are limitless. Its all on what you make of it. Yes its old, Yes they don't have great vacation time, but you know what.....neither does the customer of Electric Boat. If you would like to provide a service to your country, without the commitment, then this is the place. Its a small community of professionals that leave their pride at the door to ensure our nation has the tools they need to maintain our national security. The rotation program, the lateral promotional opportunities, the travel opportunities are all excellent. You will not find another company that has the heart and customer focus then Electric Boat. If you want to be a millionaire, then go somewhere else, sorry, its not all about the money here. Its about family, our customer and our product.

Cons

Sorry guys, the good ole' boy network is here. But you know what, if you treat another person with respect, you will get the same back in no time. New people coming in, don't expect to be manager within a couple years, this work is hard, sometimes boring, but in the end, very rewarding. All you have to do is put your time in and take a moment once and a while to look around and eventually you'll say to yourself 'Wow, I helped make that happen...'

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.
