Pros

The working level of people at Raytheon Missile Systems is great.

Cons

The leadership of Raytheon Missile Systems from the CEO through all 30+ vice presidents and assistant vice presidents operates out of a sense of entitlement. They are entitled to their extravagant parties, entitled to fly first class, entitled to free lunch and entitled to a bunch of people around them who never tell them they are doing anything wrong because if you do, there will be retaliation. They are bad business men who allow senior program managers and leaders to run amuck with New Business Investment funds, spending mostly on travel with no resulting new business and no consequence. They have way too many people and could be producing better profits or better growth for the company by slashing the head count and trimming the non-productive. Then they would not have that crowd around them telling them how brilliant they all are.

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!
