Pros

Stimulating work, relaxed atmosphere (business casual), great co-workers. Getting time-off when needed for emergencies, or just last minute plans is pretty easy, because of the size of the company. Many opportunities for advancement. Yearly reviews and raises are pretty consistent. You definitely know what the career path is; the company goes to great lengths to make sure that all employees know what's expected of them. For the most part, Raytheon, as a company abides by it's core values and stated objectives. The work pace is reasonable for someone who loves what they do and is motivated. If you don't like what you do, I would imagine that it could be a pretty tough place to work.

Cons

Very large company, so sometimes you can feel like a very small and insignificant cog in a very large machine.

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!
