Pros

If you are really ambitious then you can make the most out of your experience there. I started out as just sort of a low level tech support person, and rose to be one of the top engineers in my group, all within the span of a few years

Cons

Shouldn't have to threaten to quit to get a raise, need to work on getting rid of dead weight faster, as it shouldn't take years to fire an incompetent person.

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!
