Pros
Electric Boat produces a unique product that takes years to develop and years to build, this can be rewarding if you find the niche you are interested in. There are many opportunities from design, engineering, and construction. Advocate for yourself to get into a position that interests you and you'll enjoy the work. 401k investment opportunities along with being 100% vested from day one is excellent (probably next on list to be cut)
Cons
Upper management is top heavy and considers employees expendable. Current business climate is excellent with large long term contracts, and high corporate profits, yet employee benefits are being cut. Raises have been significantly reduced in the last year, tuition reimbursement cut, and sick time reduced. All of these items are being done to increase overall corporate profit. Parking is difficult, plan on wasting time riding a bus or parking far away unless you arrive at work by 6am. Work processes are often cumbersome, slow, and frustrating. Support to improve these processes is often non-existent. Upper management needs to focus on fixing the significant issues which could lead to meaningful improvements in lieu of micro managing issues which have little bearing on the bottom line. As with any company there are people who underperformers and add little value. Management does little to correct this behavior.
