Pros

There are lots of different opportunities, Signal Processing, GNC, Software, Hardware, Simulation, etc. Some people are nice and smart, some are not. I have seen people switch teams/departments, so you can learn new stuff. Thereare also chances you get to interact with other teams and learn some of their stuff. Raytheon offers tuition reimbursements, so you can take courses in university or take Raytheon offered accelerated classes onsite at your own time. 9/80 schedule, flexible time (for the most part). PTO is defense industry standard.

Cons

Raise is minimal. Salary is higher for new employees than someone that works there for years to climb up the ladder. Is this how you keep talents? If you work on company propriety stuff, you hardly get rewarded even if you do a good job. If you know how to kiss butt, you can get more opportunities even if you don't know much about technical stuff. Why? Assign the work to someone else in your team, so the team lead can share the same success with you by "good" management. Some people seem to talk their way up while some do all the hard work and still remains in a semi-high level.

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!
