Pretty decent place to work, but could be better - Recensione dipendente - Software Development Analyst presso HII

Good hands-on experience and great people to work with.

I cannot think of any cons.

They will hire new engineering undergraduates with limited or no prior work experience, when they have hiring waves. Wide range of teams to work for across many disciplines. Options to move around between teams within a division or change divisions are available. Can get to work directly with trades performing the work you organize or design. Submarines and carriers are cool. 8% retirement match is good if you plan on staying long-term or for your career.

Short-sighted upper management. Current leadership is increasingly draconian. I joined in part due to various perks which were later removed. Like anywhere, your immediate team management will make or break your experience here. Some teams lack the needed personnel. Leads to "putting out fires" constantly instead of being able to make headway with projects to improve processes or designs. Pay has gotten better but does not keep up with the level of experience. Feels like you will only be rewarded if you stay here your entire career. PTO could be better, especially as they removed sick days a number of years ago. Over investment into AI with no tangible benefit. Health insurance costs recently rose. Current plans for salaried employers nearly doubled in their monthly cost.
