Pros

Some really good devoted engineers and some real hard workers as team mates.

Cons

There is a systemic problem at Raytheon from my experience that emphasizes short term successes and puts off bigger problems for down the road. Engineers don't feel empowered to solve problems that they know need fixing and instead bandaids are put in place to get issues through the door. Salary and raises are barely adequate. Constant turnover of personnel. I think due to the previous statements.

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!
