Pros

There is really nothing that they offer that everyone else isn't offering.

Cons

They continue to post record free cash flow but insist there is no money for raises. At the rate of inflation I technically make less then I did when I started three years ago. Extremely antiquated culture. They treat the engineering process like an assembly line in my department. Even though they advertise doing cutting edge design work in NX, most of its writing spec documents off old drawings to have the vendors and other departments do the modeling and design work.

Pros

A lot of flexibility with my schedule. Can shift hours as needed as long as work is done. No micromanaging supervisors. They tend to stay out of your hair as long as the customer is happy.

Cons

As contract support, its not always clear if our contract is being renewed. Government reps and Hii Reps will always provide conflicting information. This leads to a regularly stressful 4th quarter every year. It is not obvious to me how one progresses through "the ranks" since we are contracting staff support. There seems to be a disconnect between HII employees supporting HII efforts, and HII employees supporting the government. HII takes Cybersecurity very seriously. So serious it makes completing regular daily tasks way longer than it should. I often need multiple attampts, and a call to IT support to get it done. So, I'd rather wait to be told to check my Hii email, or that I need to complete training than do it voluntarily.
