General Dynamics Electric Boat

Is this your company?

A good place to get a start, but not enough development opportunities for someone with ambition. - Engineer II General Dynamics Electric Boat Employee Review

Pros

The company offers guidance through a mentor program to help you get started. They also offer a rotation program for those who want to expose themselves to different areas of the business. It's also a stable industry with good job security.

Cons

Most all raises and promotions are very time based rather than merit based. All time is charged to contracts, which results in "hourly" salary employees. This means that when time above 40 hours is worked, overtime is often unpaid, but anything under 40 hours and vacation time is taken. And employees are given only 2 weeks of vacation for the first 10 years of employment. The work is also very slow due to the nature of the business.

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.
