Pros

If you like this sort of thing… getting moved around a lot into multiple projects for short periods at a time, which they call "tasking."

Cons

Raytheon is a company to stay away from: badly organized, continually "reorganizing", no culture, bad communication from upper mgt, very uninvolved HR, and WAY too much continuous required "training" (annoying internal web-based coursework usually related to company policy, standards procedures, ethics, security, etc). They all pretend to be professional, when they really are not. There’s also a lot of “rumor mills”, plus “back stabbing” if you don’t kowtow. You need to always be ready to “CYA.” They terminated me due to problems that mgt had with my age vs experience, my medical issues, and leave I took, but they used the phrase “didn’t “meet expectations.”

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.
