Pros

Good balance of family/work time

Cons

Poor opportunity for developing your career unless you want the company to determine it for you without any input. Haven't been promoted in 10 years mostly due to lack of assignments with visibility while those hired 10 years ago are now at my pay grade. Very little consideration for existing veteran employees moving up other than a chosen few. Company hires outside for expertise rather than giving opportunites within to advance it's personal.

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!
