    Great People; Competitive Benefits

    Mar 16, 2022 - Program Manager in Washington, DC
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    Line management is outstanding: best people I've worked with in 10 years. The transsition from Alion CScience and Technology to Huntington Ingalls Industries has been seamless, althought there are growing pains merging tow big companies. Biggest change was going from Fidelity managed 401K to an in-house investment plan. Matching is excellent -- up to 6% of salary -- but I only joned the program in January when the merger was finalized, so not much data to gauge personal results.

    Cons

    New senior managers at HII and HII is new to the merket where I work so it is yet to be seen how competitive they will be with Booz Allen Hamilton, KBR, GDIT, and CSG when we recompete my contract.
