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.

Pros

Remote Work, Flex Schedule, Benefits are decent enough.

Cons

It is very much a boys club between management, leads, and HR. HR is there to protect the company, not you. The moment you have something crazy happen (and you will because most people in positions of power are old retired navy guys who cant even work a computer usually and would rather praddle on about "the good ole days") and you report it to HR, you immediately will be retaliated against, even when HR says you wont. Its tough to say how you wont when they immediately inform your supervisor. I also hate how they are an "inclusive" company, and yet I have been called more slurs and received more backlash for being LGBT when its not even being presented, I just want to log in, work, ask questions, log off.
