Pros

-Stable paycheck -Nice people for the most part -Some interesting domestic and international work

Cons

-New people get good pay for the first year or two, but the salary doesn't increase much after that. You need to become a contractor or jump companies to get market value. -Outdated systems and tools, you will probably not add many useful skills to your resume. -Lots of overtime and weekend work. Work life balance is not usually great. -Not many new projects right now, which means that sites are still letting people go while replacing them with less expensive alternatives.

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!
