Pros

It is a fortune 500 company that has some very intelligent and innovative talent. CEO has tried to position company to weather the down turn in defense contracting business, with some success.

Cons

Very hierarchical in management access. Demands from leadership flow downstream; many data drills that may be of little benefit. Many layers of management, frequent reorganizations. There are a lot of challenges working between businesses and really "Teaming" within the company to work together for the success of programs. Very little security as an employee at the company - contrary to the company philosophy of the employees being their greatest asset.

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!
