Pros

Secure job. As far as I can tell, submarines are going to be made for at least the next 50-75 years in their current form. Not much risk of losing ones job at this company unless you steal or commit an HR boo-boo. Decent pay. Good benefits.

Cons

In no specific order: Parking is horrendous. Unless you get to work earlier than 7am, expect to walk at least 1/4mile into the office. Big time red tape here. So many levels of management and military involvement that sometimes it takes a miracle to get anything done. Mediocre work force over all. The company has no negative consequences for poor performance, which makes people lazy. Not much of a diverse culture. Most people are white males, with about half being <30 and the other half >45 years old.

Pros

Electric Boat is an excellent company to work for. They are one the cutting edge of technology. You will have great job security, the US NAVY always needs submarines.

Cons

The company is primarily based out of Groton CT. This area is pretty lame . Not much to do there. It takes at least 45 min to get to anywhere worth visiting.
