Pros

There are definitely some interesting programs on campus and the impact of the work we do is on a global scale. It's definitely nice to have a security clearance.

Cons

Not a lot of new development...a lot of the coding is just maintenance work. You're going to be working with people who have been entrenched at the company for 20+ years and are set in their ways. No creative license.

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!
