Pluspunten

Only shipyard to build aircraft carriers and one of two yards to build submarines for the Navy, so it has great job security and better than average pay.

Minpunten

Niche market and no competition (legal monopoly) thus no real incentive for continuous process improvement. The company is run like it's still the 1970s if not earlier. Micro-managed departments specialize in particular areas and little to no interaction/collaboration with other groups. Very difficult to grow beyond the limits of your department.

Pluspunten

Remote Work, Flex Schedule, Benefits are decent enough.

Minpunten

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.
