Pros

- Benefits were quite good eg 7% total 401k match - Flexible schedule, altho it depended on - Once you got to know the people, many of them were quite nice

Cons

- It was impossible to get a promotion/ decent raise - R6S was a joke. At one point, my dept required each of us to 2 projects per year. They were a huge waste of time that were only completed to "check the box" for Annual review time - In many depts home/ work life balance was none existent. I knew people who were supposedly on the 9/80 schedule and who worked EVERY Friday without exception. In my case, towards the end, I was working late nights, and at least 8 - 12 hours a weekend. - Management biases against minorities - Incompetent management that did not know anything about the jobs/ responsibilities of the people they managed

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!
