Pros

They shipped my car across the country, paid for my flight, and paid for my rental car. Not to mention gave a relocation bonus for housing, that they set up and was subsidized. They could not have made that process any smoother. At work there were many volunteer opportunities and I got to interact with many people from the local community.

Cons

The work itself was extremely boring. Was essentially given a data input task as an Electrical Engineering intern (!) because I was told that "I was cheap." Supervisor often promised more interesting work without ever following through. HR was TERRIBLE. Was not told that I had overtaken hours of PTO, since my available hours were prorated (which was not clear), and was forced to pay back Raytheon 4 years later almost $100 for a negative paid time off balance. A little transparance would have been helpful.

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!
