Business outlook
Pros
The shipyard is very proud to build quality ships, which engages the employees to want to do their best to build "good ships" for the sailors. As an engineer, there is always a sense of ownership for the project you are working on. The large company also provides the opportunity to learn different facets of shipbuilding through rotational programs. For those willing to apply themselves, there is always growth potential.
Cons
The work in the shipyard shifts over time. In order to keep everyone employed, you may be pulled off your project to fill a position that has more budget. Depending on how vested you are in your project, this can be a disappointment.
