Pros

Depending on your team, you could work with some brilliant people on very interesting projects. Great work-life balance. Low-pressure atmosphere for most. Plenty of PTO and all holidays, including year-end shutdown.

Cons

It's a roll of the dice whether you end up on a good team. Raises/promotions are highly dependent on your section manager, who you may not ever even meet in person and who may or may not be involved at all in your work. Fairly strict policy of 2 years between promotions can be very demotivating.

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!
