Pros

There are lots of opportunities if you are willing to play the corporate game and follow stupid corporate policies. Once you get through all that and prove yourself, a whole new world opens up.

Cons

Even though they claim that promotions are skill based and not time based, I'm getting a sense that they are. Any time I ask about a promotion I get a response along the lines of "typically you have to be in your current position for X years" as opposed to "you need to be able to do X and do Y."

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!
