Pros

The best part is working directly on a really amazing product. Management is also very supportive of good ideas as long as you've done your homework.

Cons

Working with the Navy is annoying sometimes. They like to stifle innovation in the name of safety and cost reduction. Advancement is slow and sometimes not well communicated. The use of advanced technology is unheard of. Upper management doesn't want to spend money on anything to create a better, more efficient work environment for engineers if it doesn't save money on the final product directly.

Pros

This is a last resort job if you can’t find anything else

Cons

The processes and systems in place to get the job done is dismal. There is no official training for the job role. If you make suggestions and try to be helpful you are seen as a threat by management. There is rarely any cross functional communication. It feels like they want things to take a long time and be wrong so that they can charge the govt. more money. (Bc every task you do will have a charge number). Most long timers at the company don’t care about the work being done inefficiently either, bc they have a reason for overtime. Very weird corporate politics / favoritism. (I have never seen it as bad as it is here). Parking is terrible at every location.
