Pros

You are able to get flexible work arrangements (9/80, 4/10, etc) Some managers really care and want you to succeed Easy transfers to other segments if you want to work on different projects

Cons

Some managers are only out for themselves and only care about their "numbers" Raytheon is a little old-school when it comes to hiring based on experience, so if you don't have a 4 year degree, even with prior experience, you're not likely to be considered. If you're on the wrong project and don't have any connections, you will experience burnout and feel locked in

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!
