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.

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.
