Pros

- Lots of work opportunities - Great people

Cons

- Legacy company culture clashes abound...Hughes (California, Arizona), TI (Texas), E-Systems (Texas), Parent Raytheon (Massachusetts). Pratt & Whitney, Collins Aerospace pretty much operate independently from legacy Raytheon. - I've worked in California and Texas over 20 years. I found much more amenable management and better growth opportunities in California but the cost of living is exorbitant. Much better COL in Texas but management is provincial more concerned with maintaining the bottom line than helping the employees grow themselves.

Pros

9/80 and every 2nd Friday off, generous vacation time.

Cons

The company is 100+ years old and functions almost entirely on inertia. Senior Management is totally disconnected from the day to day, and it shows in the content of their "community" video meetings. They talk about diversity but have no interest in applying it. Most of the time they totally ignore the needs of their disabled employees.
