Pros

The economy for a defense contractor is very good now, being we are in a recession, and the cost of living is higher. Raytheon provides spport for our military. So as long as there is war in the world today, you will need someone to make the weapons/ and technology for war

Cons

They do not invest much into commuting into work and home.

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!
