Pros

Job stability and if you want to coast for your annual 2-3% raise. SE CT is a great area to live in.

Cons

A frustrating place to work if you are a high performer, want to be challenged technically, or if you'll be bothered by the unaddressed incompetence all around. Almost half of new engineers are smart enough to leave within the first few years. The "best of the rest" get promoted to supervision with an inflated opinion of themselves. The best of my 5 bosses at EB was still worse than my worst boss in 15 years outside of EB. Someone on reddit said it well: "It's where the young give up and the old stay miserable and retire".

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.
