Business Outlook

Pros

It's a well run company that focuses on producing a high quality product for a demanding and important customer, and on maximizing return on invested capital. A no-BS atmosphere.

Cons

Not much overhead spent on being a 'touchy-feely' workplace - but, engineers know how to focus on what matters.

Pros

Although rare, it is cool to go on the subs and the waterfront work environment is beautiful. Also I was allowed the opportunity to do real engineering work (mostly calculations) as an intern, where in some previous positions I had been stuck doing busy work.

Cons

Innovative design is rare. Usually just re-using old designs or doing calculations to prove the adequacy of someone else's design.
