Pros

The compensation and work/life balance. If you work at Raytheon and live in Tucson, you live like a king. It is a great place to accumulate wealth, not just earn a high salary. The current global situation has allowed for excessive funding for many projects, which forces young employees to grow quickly out of necessity.

Cons

Very tracked career path. If you overachieve, it does not always lead to a promotion or recognition; you may have to do your time in order to be promoted. This does not happen at other companies, where performance is recognized almost immediately.

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!
