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.

Cons
1. Can't really use new technology without an extensive approval process so work can be outdated and boring 2. Can be hard to understand all the different 'parts' because there's so much involved and not well explained from the beginning 3. Can feel forgotten at times 4. Work feels unfulfilling, as most of it isn't even put to real use 5. Can put yourself in a hole with the skills - can only develop skills so much if you can't use new technologies
- Current Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
They pay you the bucks Pretty much anyone can be fully remote You get to be a part of something bigger than yourself and get to meet a lot of really cool people like Aerospace Engineers and Scientists
Cons
Some people there will straight up just not answer your emails, which I find super rude Training is not great, mostly due to turnover in the TA dept Some hiring mangers you have to work with have 1980s mentality when it comes to hiring and use words like "job hopper"
