Pros

-Great Benefits -Good Entry Level Salary -Not a lot of layoffs

Cons

-Expect engineers to meet impossible deadlines with limited experience - No transparency when job offer was given . Raytheon offered me a job as a java software engineer and ended up programming in C, C++ -Delegating assignments are based on what's available and not your credentials - A lot of bureaucracy in upper management - Senior Engineers have tendency to leave new engineers in the dark due to job security.

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!
