Pros

The vast ecosystem of the corporation gives you room to grow both laterally and vertically. As with all jobs, you best bet is having a good manager/champion to advance in your career and experience. You'll have to find them, but they exist here.

Cons

The company is still going through the growing pains of hiring a younger workforce. Much of upper management is at retiring age and they have a culture of taking a long time to reach key positions.

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!
