10% of the people do 90% of the work - Engineer General Dynamics Electric Boat Employee Review

Pros

Job security (questionable in the future), hard to get fired, annual "merit" raises, and employee bonus incentive program. Some people do care, and will go out of their way to help you out (but they burnout quick). Place helps you build up a resume if you're motivated. The first 5 years goes by quick with everything you get to learn.

Cons

As the title says "10% of the people do 90% of the work." People are allowed to not pull their own weight and get to stay employed. Good luck with work life balance if you care about your job/engineering standards/morals. They took away paid overtime from the lifers that keep the place going. Culture of favoritism with upper management.

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.
