Pros
- Decent pay -Decent benefits -Decent coworkers
Cons
- Hybrid/Remote/Work Schedule Flexibility is almost gone following Phil's emails to "Return to Office." - Other top-ranking defense companies pay a tad bit better than Raytheon. The attrition rate is very high in some departments in the Tucson area. - Promotion is hard to come by for internal employees. - This is highly dependent on the department, but some managers/ heads are ceremoniously appointed to fill some positions; they are not helpful in any shape or form to the progress of the products/deliverables we work on. I am not trying to be racist by calling some of these individuals "DEI hires," as there are good managers/leaders irrespective of backgrounds, but some are sub-par in terms of communications and writing skills required for a leader. -Like any other large organization, Raytheon has problems with favoritism and politics. However, that is highly dependent on one's immediate team.
