Pros

Job security, slow pace, lots of opportunity to learn

Cons

Very old group of engineers, typically stuck in antiquated ways of thinking. Rank and stack PD cycle means that you likely wont get promoted in your first year in a position, no matter how well you perform. Off-cycle promotions do not happen except for extremely rare circumstances.

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!
