Pros

The company has a great mission-focus. Coworkers are competent and resourceful. There's an emphasis on respect in the workplace that means we can all work together on the mission. There are a lot of interesting problems they're trying to solve, and opportunities across the US and around the globe.

Cons

Working within the defense contractor award/fulfill cycle, we always seem to be a few years behind in technology. A lot of the jobs are in Washington, DC, California, and Texas, which are locations that don't appeal to everyone, whether due to cost, commute time, or culture.

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!
