Pros

pay, PTO, benefits. they are all there

Cons

super boring, super slow. You are one of thousands of engineers, working on a small piece of a very big puzzle. The company charges the Navy for you being there, so all they are looking for are warm bodies to sit around on the clock, as they make money for every 6 minutes that you are there (GD charges the gov $100 an hour for you, you get 35 or so). So you see the business model: "cram as many engineers into an office as you can, and make money off of each one, just avoid the auditors." Work is so boring people literally sleep at their desks. Some people call it a dream job. It was like a prison for me. Also, people crammed into offices design for 1/3 of work force, bathrooms are always busy (hope you like warm toilet seats), parking is a circus.

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.
