Pros

Interesting work. Liked living in Tucson more than expected. Really competitive educational assistance program ($20k/yr). Good ethnic diversity

Cons

Poor generational diversity. Lots of red tape and bureaucracy. Sub-par healthcare plans. High medical costs in the area. High turnover. Unable to retain top performers. Very conservative, aging workforce. Lots of incompetent people freshly hired into senior level roles while top performers stagnate in the same positions.

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!
