Pros
Benefits are really the only thing that come to mind. The 9/80 and vacation and mod time are pretty reasonable compared to other large companies.
Cons
- Leaderships is smart, but not good at inspiring low level leaders to do the right things - A bunch of slightly above average people doing the wrong things - They talk continuous improvement, but its not really the mindset. Firefighting is what is rewarded, so that is what people do. - Backward accounting system incentives terrible decisions on floor. - If you miss a metric, you are often yelled at and punished. People are seen as the problem, never the system which enables mistake after mistake. - Lack of diversity. All old white men. Everyone has only worked at Raytheon their whole career. No outside perspectives. - Very political. All about who you know and who you do things for. Not meritocratic at all. Great people would likely leave this environment for faster upward mobility and more challenging positions. - Terrible on boarding process. No respect for new employees. Push managers to invest in people at the front lines, not just speak it at the senior level.
