Pros

Your perspective on the employer you work for is a function of your job, the manager you work directly for, and your own outlook on life. It always amazes me that people who don't listen, don't get it, and are ultimately responsible for their own poor experience blame it on everyone else around them. They expect to be fed everything, rather than proactively get engaged and discover what the possibilities are, and how they contribute. Raytheon offers significant career opportunity, if you get engaged and take charge of it yourself. Great pay and benefits, flexible hours, and pretty strong leadership, at least in IDS.

Cons

It seems that the core group of 10% of the employees work hard, all the time. Lots of hours; if you become known as someone who can get it done - you'll keep getting more. Sometimes leadership is too focused on meeting the goal, rather than HOW we meet the goal.

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!
