"Electric Boat is a very consistent company with consistent work, consistent people, and a consistently good product, exceeding customer expectations."
"I've worked for Electric Boat for 3 years. During this time I've discovered that the company exists in a different era, using management techniques from the 70s. They are slowly moving forward, but not quickly enough. Until they get rid of the current batch of middle - top management, no progress will be made and newer employees will find the ever-increasing layers (they just added 2 more!) of bureaucracy will make getting your job done hard to impossible."

What don't you like about working at General Dynamics?
"Too little work for too many engineers. I consistently spend half my week at my desk doing enrichment training I may never use. My manager is so busy he never has time to work with me in terms of career development. I have no idea where my career is headed. In addition no one trusts me enough to help them with the projects they're working on. The office is either too hot or too cold with no windows. My coworkers feel the need to attack me every time I make a mistake rather than focusing on the problem. I have to punch a clock as a salaried employee. if I punch out 6 minutes early I get charged vacation time and do not have opportunity to make it up. I have a 20 minute walk from my car to my desk every day."
