Pros

They've implemented Tech Pyramids and "SMEs" to aid the technical workflow. They really value your work/life balance.

Cons

Promotion and pay increases are limited. If you have great leadership, they can overcome some of these barriers, but those kinds of leaders come few and far between. Knowledge of the products and processes are only taught through hands-on experience. You'll never know 100% of any product due to how much engineering is fully involved, however, this can result in a lot of dependencies on others too. If working with a good team, this can make for a rewarding experience, however, the opposite is also possible.

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!
