Electric Boat Review - Principal Engineer General Dynamics Electric Boat Employee Review

Pros

Life time career if you want it. Some flexibility in work schedule. Pay is decent middle class income but you will need to rise to the very top to do any better than that. Large company with many diverse areas of engineering/work. Ability to move around within the company to get new career experiences if you are getting stale in current position

Cons

Salary workers are more like hourly workers punching a clock. Highly regulated. Benefits have continually eroded over my 30 year career. Medical benefit has been reduced to not much more than catastrophic protection.

Pros

If you're under 30, the pay can be pretty decent starting out. Pay and benefits start when you start training. If you like downtime, there's plenty.

Cons

The leadership is incredibly dysfunctional and everything is behind schedule. The environment is literally toxic and you will not get a respirator, just an N95 mask. Management is understaffed and unsupported. There's a lack of seasoned experienced employees, which means the young people coming in aren't being trained or mentored properly. You might have a 19 year old kid doing stupid and dangerous stuff right next to you and there's no supervision. Sick and vacation time is so small that running out of hours is the #1 way to get fired.
