Business outlook
Pros
United Technologies (UTC) purchased Raytheon (incorrectly called "merger of equals") and became Raytheon Technologies. UTC was a predominantly commercial company and Raytheon was predominantly defense. Conceptually, it seemed like a good marriage.
Cons
UTC weeded out most all Raytheon executive leadership and has been trying to infuse leadership, managment and business practices of the commercial world into and onto the Defense side that Raytheon brought to the "merger". After 2+ years, they are struggling to find their way and find a healthy balance. Many of the legacy Raytheon employees are discontent and unhappy with the direction the company's Executive leadership is trying to go.
