Pros

Great pay, great benefits. Flexible work hours.

Cons

Top heavy with closed minded, ex-military management chain. Little or no opportunities for growth and promotion. Ineffective managers rarely get involved like they should and problems get ignored for years. Promotion is only possible through attrition. Innovation is pushed but innovators are expected to provide complete solutions on their own time. Programs / projects end abruptly and leave employees with no coverage. Raises are capped by an artificial pay band system which isn't documented. Management will not have your back.

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!
