Pros

Raytheon is very flexible with time (flex time, paid time off, every other Friday off) which makes it a great place if you are juggling work/life balance (i.e., working parents). Raytheon also gives lots of opportunities to those who show initiative.

Cons

Raytheon prefers to train and develop talent internally. The result is a tendency to look inward rather than outwardly embracing learning opportunities. Also, training budget and opportunities are very inconsistent. Some employees get a lot and some not at all.

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!
