Business outlook
Pros
As an intern you are able to work on projects within the first few days. The flexible work hours are great. There are alot of people who have worked at the shipyard for 20+ years and can pass down there knowledge and experience. The supervisors are willing to let you expand your learning knowledge and skills by forcing you to attend software classes and special engineering workshops.
Cons
Parking isn't great if you work close to the waterfront. Lunchtime is only 30 mins long. If you work in buildings away from the waterfront, you will barely get to see the ships.
