Pros

Raytheon offers generous compensation packages.Good salaries and benefits however benefits are starting to slip. Medical plans have become weak with poor coverage.

Cons

Hard to accomplish things here with too much bureaucracy and office politics. It is often not what you know but who you know in order to be recognized. Not a friendly culture with little regard to its employees. Poor leadership that is more interested with ticking off the boxes than actually doing anything meaningful. Inflexible and unable to keep up with more modern business practices.

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!
