Pros

Very stable company, my division (Mission Technology) is growing fast even with overall economy slowing.

Cons

Not much opportunity for growth in career, and not much emphasis on company culture. Kind of boring work compared to what you would get outside of government contracting, but that's just my opinion I guess.

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.
