      Steady work but limited opportunities to grow.

      Pros

      Only shipyard to build aircraft carriers and one of two yards to build submarines for the Navy, so it has great job security and better than average pay.

      Cons

      Niche market and no competition (legal monopoly) thus no real incentive for continuous process improvement. The company is run like it's still the 1970s if not earlier. Micro-managed departments specialize in particular areas and little to no interaction/collaboration with other groups. Very difficult to grow beyond the limits of your department.

      Good first experience for the recent grad, but move on quickly if you're a highly motivated person

      Pros

      Great benefits, paid tuition, many opportunities available to learn about the company and further develop your skills, defense budget is steady so guaranteed job security.

      Cons

      Difficult to fire someone who is not performing, many very low performing and unmotivated workers, depending on your department it may be difficult to get promoted because of "limits" set on the number of employees that can be in each category, department redundancy.
