      Three "G"s before you are Retired Out - Non-Engineering Staff RTX Employee Review

      Pros

      OK place to start an engineering career. Looks good on the resume. Steady paycheck and decent salary. 9/80 work week is wonderful.

      Cons

      Benefits declining rapidly with employees paying increased cost for what is left. OK for recent engineering grads or vets (revolving door well greased). Other disciplines need not apply. Defense industry is a specialty field. Moving to the larger commercial environment is challenging. Three "G's: Get in; Gain experience; Get out. Planning a long career at Raytheon requires an emergency fund for when they hire two replacement grads and you are "retired out" to the street.

      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!
