RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at General Dynamics Bath Iron Works full-time (More than 8 years)
Pros
Working for the best shipbuilder in the US provides an excellent atmosphere to grow professionally for employees that are willing to give it their best. In the 8 years I have been at BIW, I have changed jobs 3 times, each with more responsibility and opportunity to learn and grow.
Cons
Parking can be an issue for employees assigned at the Main Yard. But the company provides free park and ride with shuttle service, and info on Pay Lots, if you do not have an assigned parking spot. Also, many employees join car pools.
Advice to Management
Keep up the pressure on improving Safety. Shutdowns this past Winter due to storms were much appreciated.

Application
The process took 5 days. I interviewed at General Dynamics Bath Iron Works.
Interview
Had a phone interview and received an offer a few days later. Questions weren't overly difficult. Hiring process can vary though, I know some who were brought in for on-site interviews.
Negotiation
Offer was fair at the time, did not negotiate, although I would definitely try to score a parking permit if I were to do things over (parking is very limited and off-site lots usually have a wait list. Prepare to get a lot of parking tickets since all street parking in town has a 2 hour limit).
