"I've been in the U.S. Navy for 23 years and it has been a pleasurable experience. I have enjoyed leading up and down the company structure while still maintaining the ability to mentor all types of people. I would recommend this opportunity for anyone."
"I've worked for the Navy for over seven years with several types of leadership. My overall time severing my country has been good. Now it is time to settle down and spend time with my family. In military we learn to adapt and overcome challenges but that also requires our families to o the same. For the service member it may be easy but for his or her family it has proven to be a challenge"
"Best decision I made. Fastest way to stability and independence."
"I first started this job back in March of 2018 and I was fresh out of college with a Computer Engineering degree. This has been my first and only “real” engineering job and I have to say, the experience has been phenomenal. Working in the government you get to travel and learn as much as you desire! They encourage you to get your masters and are willing to pay for it! Don’t like what you are currently working on? You can freely rotate to anywhere you desire within the Navy. For example, when i was first hired on I was doing more systems engineering(aka project management), but what I really wanted to be hands on with software engineering. So, I started a rotation where I was developing a government owned Android application that lasted nearly a year. Also, I just finished a 4 month rotation where I was developing a plugin for a desktop application."
"I have served in the United States Navy for over 22 years and it has been the adventure of a lifetime. I have seen the world, improved my education through multiple programs, learned to lead young men and women from all walks of life through the toughest of circumstances. The US Navy was an experience that improved every aspect of my life. I would recommend it for anyone looking to be part of something bigger than themselves."
"Great benefits, and hard work!"
"It's extremely hard work but if you can handle the work load this is a great job or career."
"I've been in the service for 20 years."
"The DoD (Navy) is a great place to start a career as an apprentice. The capabilities to advance in the DoD is enormous as well as generous. A minor drawback while working for any shipyard is the countless changes in command, leadership, and direction the Navy wants to transition as well as the commanding officer you work for. The Navy wants to operate the shipyard as a Corporation but really needs to truly reacquaint itself as naval vessel maintenance, repair and/or overhaul business."
"I've worked at the Naval Research Laboratory since 2017 as IT support. It is a diverse and unique organization. Somewhat confusingly organized. Getting to know the specific group you work for is important, and different groups can be wildly different work environments. The commute is awkward, based on the location. Also the fresh air from the Potomac is a welcome reprieve."
"Job stability, career advancement."
"Great place to work. But I need to expand and move up in chains to where I can utilize my skill assets."
"The work is great but the location is terrible."
"Nothing to report at the current time."
"It's the Navy. Joining the military is hard work and for most people is a way to serve their country."
