Pros

Great pay and benefits - quality of work/life balance depends on the program you work on.

Cons

RMS has such a problem with nepotism and the management on Tier 2 programs very political. The overall environment was working in a very small cubicle area jammed in with thousands of folks who are encouraged to backstab fellow teammates. The continued reorganization in the Product Support Directorate was a joke. Only "Yes Men" are selected to report to an extremely difficult Director who shows very little concern for his 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!
