Pros

Worked here for almost 2 years as a mechanical engineer. A lot of varied experiences and projects on a variety of mechanical systems, especially if you doing repair engineering work on the Navy vessels

Cons

Sometimes a bit hectic. It can take a long time to get used to how the whole system operates because the ships are so massive, and finding your way around them can be annoying. But I think those are small gripes

Pros

Remote Work, Flex Schedule, Benefits are decent enough.

Cons

It is very much a boys club between management, leads, and HR. HR is there to protect the company, not you. The moment you have something crazy happen (and you will because most people in positions of power are old retired navy guys who cant even work a computer usually and would rather praddle on about "the good ole days") and you report it to HR, you immediately will be retaliated against, even when HR says you wont. Its tough to say how you wont when they immediately inform your supervisor. I also hate how they are an "inclusive" company, and yet I have been called more slurs and received more backlash for being LGBT when its not even being presented, I just want to log in, work, ask questions, log off.
