Pros

Relatively stable in a down economy. Great benefits compared to the private sector jobs. Great technology is being used and developed every day. Very good community outreach initiatives. The name Raytheon carries good weight.

Cons

Trying to be a system integrator, instead of having control of the hardware. Moving away from designing and developing hardware. Moving towards generic hardware, with custom software. Large age gap with senior engineers is very difficult to overcome.

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!
