Pros

Lots of interesting projects, a very diverse workforce, and reasonable work/life balance. The smart engineers are very smart. ATEP (Advanced Technical Education Program) classes are taught by engineering fellows or aspiring fellows in diverse subject areas and open to all employees.

Cons

A bureaucratic organization. Security clearances make it difficult for average workers (non-superstars) to switch projects or teams easily. Unknown outlook because of sequester.

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!
