Pros
The hours are very regular with almost no overtime except in extreme circumstances. It is a large enough company with enough employee overlap that you can take time off without too much pain.
Cons
They do have frequent lay-offs and job eliminations. They do not seem to care when they eliminate jobs (basically a lay-off called a reduction in force) that it is hard for the former employees to get a new job. When you work for a big company like Ingalls you become very specialized in your work. Unfortunately this means it is hard to get a new job unless its in the same task. New employers only care about what you did the last four years. Many of Ingalls jobs do not have commercial applications.
