Working at United States Navy in Dahlgren, VA: 7 Employee Reviews
"I've worked for NSWCDD since 2016 and I have enjoyed all of it. Working for the government, you get out what you put into it. I have enjoyed the freedom to pursue leadership opportunities and gain valuable technical experience!"
What do you like about working at United States Navy?
"Being a part of something greater than ourselves. Travelling the world. Earning recognition. Representing America's strength and diplomacy. History and tradition."
Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?
"You will see the world. You will learn a lot. You will make thousands of lifetime friends. You will be challenged. Your life will be put in danger. It can be fascinating. It can be boring. You will have fantastic leaders. You will have terrible leaders. You WILL lead. Your career will always be changing. Family life is hard."
What don't you like about working at United States Navy?
"Regulation stifles innovation. When it comes to military engagement, it is understandable, rigid and by the book. But there is a lot of day-to-day work that is mired in waste and in that's-how-it's-done thinking."
What suggestions do you have for management?
"Our leadership is constantly changing, so I summed up the average of my leadership in important positions. Most Commanding Officers (emphasize most, not all) are egocentric, raised into an realistic position of privilege. This Naval Officer progression path creates uninformed, demanding egotists hiding uncomfortable lack of confidence. It is not their fault, but the system. They rely on the Chiefs community to make the system function and the rest of the enlisted community to bear the burden of the work. I would remove the existing archaic officer/enlisted communities and combine them into one progressive path."
"Great workplace, in a rural environment."
"This is a very challenging and rewarding place to work."

"Continue to find good workers and keep ahold of them."
