Pros

Raytheon had some of the nicest people I've worked with. My group really felt like a family at the time I was there.

Cons

As with many government-related jobs, the pace can be slow and I found myself trying to look for more work to do. The software can be pretty dated, and you aren't allowed to bring cellphones into certain areas (common at government contractors).

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!
