Pros

The work is interesting and fun. Good benefits. 9/80 work weeks

Cons

I found out I was being paid only $1-2k more than male new college hires when I had been working there 3 years. Same thing happened to two other women I worked with. When bringing sexism up to management nothing happens. I didn’t even get any feedback, much less any change. The sexism is pretty clear. They also don’t pay enough for the cost of living in Massachusetts in general. It’s impossible to get fired here. I heard a man talking on the phone in his cube say something extremely racist. After reporting to management and HR, there didn’t seem to be any punishment.

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!
