Pros

The salary is very good as are the benefits. When given the opportunity to grow and develop as an employee, the options are there, but only to a point. Very smart workforce, at least in Engineering, but most of the support areas there is a lot of nepotism, EEO promotions, and good old boy networks.

Cons

The management is out of touch. They don't relate to the work force, as many of them are only looking out for themselves or are very frightened when people under them do well, or are better respected then they are. HR is useless. They try to get you to work for Raytheon then abandon you as an employee. Many long term employees get laid off or fired for little or no reason. The Peter Principle is alive and well at Raytheon!

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!
