Huntington Ingalls Industries carries a Seen Grade of 66/100, with an average wait of about 30 days to hear back and a 25% ghost rate. Here's what applicants report.
Defense shipbuilder (Newport News, Ingalls, Mission Technologies). US citizenship and clearance eligibility gate most roles. Typically light interviewing - 1-2 rounds (phone screen + manager/Teams call) with responses in 1-2 weeks - but background checks and clearance stretch start dates by weeks; internship pipelines show long-tail silence (one 9-month response account). High-volume hiring keeps response rates decent. Reported average time to first response is about 30 days. Applicants report roughly 2 interview round(s).
