Pros

When I first started with Raytheon the company had great contracts and solid management more than a dozen years ago. Several contracts later and an overseas position, I found many opportunities with the company, it was challenging and rewarding work!

Cons

Then United Technologies purchased Raytheon and many things changed. What was once core contracts with solid engineering has been downgraded to after thoughts and pure chaos. I am no longer with RTX and have no faith this company can survive being striped of its equity and talented employees fleeing to other opportunities within the aerospace community. Will Missle systems be sold off to appease the woke CEO and board? Let the bean counters rule!

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!
