Pros
Raytheon offers very good benefits, such as part-time and flexible schedules. Can take up to a year leave of absence without pay and return to a job at same salary and seniority. They are working hard to promote diversity.
Cons
Managers are not necessarily trained to lead before they are given a leadership role. This means that they are not always good with people. There is a strong focus on corporate culture, which sometimes distracts from being effective at work. Also, we spend a lot of time training about safety considering that software engineers spend most of their day sitting at a desk.
