Pros

When there is work it is fun, but lately there hasn't been much (con). Flexible schedule is great. Location is great. Dress is very casual. Limited opportunity for tuition reimbursement.

Cons

I transferred from Raytheon Missile Systems and absolutely enjoeyed Raytheon until I came to El Segundo (Space and Airborne Systems). Work is slow and unstable and people are quick to stab you in the back. Learning opportunities are limited unless you are willing to work for free. Processes have flooded this place so getting work done is nearly impossible. Work is not tailored to skillsets. Some managers are awefull and tend to be those responsible for career development. NO INOVATION CULTURE. This company was founded on innovation and management has driven it out of the company. Young talent is quickly leaving the company after only a few years.

Pros

I worked at Raytheon for over 4 years and had a great experience. The company provided many learning and growth opportunities. I was promoted twice during my tenure with the company, and my responsibility increased significantly. I felt like my management supported me and provided me with the career mentorship that I was seeking. I felt empowered and respected during my time there.

Cons

It can be difficult to work at such a large defense contractor company because of all the process and red tape. Things can move slowly, you have to be patient and pick your battles. That being said, if you learn how to work within the system, you can make a significant impact here!
