General Dynamics Electric Boat reviews

Horrible Parking - If you want to park on site you have to be there by 6am. Otherwise you would have to park in downtown New London and wait for a shuttle, it adds about half an hour to the daily commute. Repeated incidents of VPs capriciously creating bad policy - Suggested minimum overtime, core hours that force 9 hour days on anyone who comes in early enough to park on site, prohibition of working through lunch. Every couple years there will be a security scare and we won't be able to bring any electronic devices (phones) into the building. Too many people packed too tight into the building (see parking problems), most people sit in low-walled four-person cubicals. It's loud. Re the diversity and inclusion: a couple years ago I mentored a summer intern. For picking the intern they gave us a spreadsheet of all the applicants. One of the columns in the spreadsheet was if they had a parent working at EB, I was told to give them preferential treatment. While being able to get your kid an internship is a nice perk, giving preferential treatment to children of a disproportionately white workforce will results in a disproportionately white class of interns.

As the title says "10% of the people do 90% of the work." People are allowed to not pull their own weight and get to stay employed. Good luck with work life balance if you care about your job/engineering standards/morals. They took away paid overtime from the lifers that keep the place going. Culture of favoritism with upper management.
