Pros

Cheap cost of living in this part of PA

Cons

I was placed on a team with employees who have figured out how to game the system. Most of their day is spent chatting, surfing the web, and goofing off. Technical milestones and deadlines are routinely missed. Site management prefers not to get involved. Since the customer is not technical enough to know how many hours individual tasks should take there are no consequences for someone who spends an extra week, month, or year on a simple task that should have been accomplished long ago.

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!
