Mechanical Engineer at the Shipyard - Anonymous employee Naval Sea Systems Command Employee Review

Work is fast paced and connected to the mission

Direction is unclear and often ambiguous

Decent pay and benefits for the area, unique work that you can't do many other places, good opportunities for travel and promotion

Commute and parking turns 8 hour shifts into 10 hour shifts, mandatory overtime and travel for periods of several months, frequent shutdowns, very poor morale, terrible first level supervision, mediocre middle management
