Pros

Very large aerospace company that is #3 in the business Many areas that one can work in, if engineering skills are broad enough Competitive salaries with similar companies Good benefits

Cons

Many of the programs are being relocated to their TX, MS plants due to cost Reorganizations occur often Sometimes Reduction in Force (RIF) occurs covertly, where Section Managers are not notified, even when their section members are impacted Sometimes RIF counts are low to avoid having to abide by the WARN law in CA Some managers can "blackball" employees to force them to quit and still stay within legal bounds

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!
