Pros

Engineering department has many intelligent people, who work hard for the customer. Overall, the benefits are very good.

Cons

Leadership seems to have a lack of direction. Solipsys has strayed from its core competencies, abandoning some smaller customers where we have had success, in favor of larger jobs with more overhead. Need to improve funding for tools and equipment - both are miniscule compared to time, and we are often behind the curve.

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!
