EB Sucks - Senior Engineer General Dynamics Electric Boat Employee Review

Chilled work environment, negative company culture, rampant career stagnation, compan drags feet on promoting people & actively tries to pigeon hole people into fixed salary brackets & looks for reasons to not promote people. If you aren't advancing in title (beyond Engineer 2)& pay within 3-4years, GET OUT. LEAVE. You can (& will) find better employment. EB selectively chooses a small percentage of engineers that they see as "young talent," & the company aggressively pushes them towards upper management. However, that' maybe 10% of the engineers; the other 90% get held back & screwed. , & the compnay will hit you with excuse after excuse for why you don't deserve a raise *If you're a woman at EB, all you have to do is show up to work & you'll get promoted; it's silly. EB has a mjaor problem to figure out (that htey don't like to admit): They have a bad attrition problem with young engineers with 0-5 years experience. There's a major talent gap. EB is made up of mostly 20-25yr olds, then people in their 60's knocking on retirmeent's door. They are not *paying* young engineers well enough to stay; it's as simple as that. & eventually that "talent gap" is going to hurt them when they don't have any seasoned shipbuilders. I saw dozens of smart, talented, driven engineers leave EB within 3-5 years of working there because: 1.) the culture sucks, 2.) they found out they could get paid more elsewhere, 3.) they weren't getting promoted. It was sad to watch so many of my friends leave one by one.I worked at EB for 7 years, then I wised-up and left & got a $30,000 raise at my new job on Day#1 because my new employer said "You're being undersold." Do not stay here unless you have a SUPERB supervisor who truly wants you to succeed. Most don't.
