Pros

Great base pay and benefits. Good people overall. Interesting projects to work on as well. Quite a bit of paid time off for christmas and other holidays

Cons

Totally bureaucratically overrun. An individual cannot move (sideways or forward) regardless of his / her merit. Salary and rank is based on experience alone and has nothing to do with performance which is very frustrating to younger hard working employees.

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!
