Pros

Diverse projects. Every assignment was a little different. Fullerton office mechanical staff got to wear many hats. Lots of opportunities for travel to customers and suppliers, especially for Foreign Sales projects. Great work-life balance. Very flexible with hours. Pretty good cafeteria food too.

Cons

Horrible, dated document control practices enforced by entrenched bureaucrats as a means to keep their jobs. Lots of office politics. Senior faculty who did not report to anyone and often refused to cooperate with project teams

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!
