Pros

Good people, stable niche, unique technology and capabilities. Pay is good.

Cons

Roanoke: A little bit more guts and assertiveness in management would be nice. Capabilities need more internal investment to stay competitive. Limited advancement potential. Good if you are younger or older, in between not as much. Corporate: Instead of cultivating and rewarding his workforce, CEO Mike Peters is a COVID VAX Crusader and is loosing his employees because of it.

Pros

A lot of flexibility with my schedule. Can shift hours as needed as long as work is done. No micromanaging supervisors. They tend to stay out of your hair as long as the customer is happy.

Cons

As contract support, its not always clear if our contract is being renewed. Government reps and Hii Reps will always provide conflicting information. This leads to a regularly stressful 4th quarter every year. It is not obvious to me how one progresses through "the ranks" since we are contracting staff support. There seems to be a disconnect between HII employees supporting HII efforts, and HII employees supporting the government. HII takes Cybersecurity very seriously. So serious it makes completing regular daily tasks way longer than it should. I often need multiple attampts, and a call to IT support to get it done. So, I'd rather wait to be told to check my Hii email, or that I need to complete training than do it voluntarily.
