Pros

Learning that you are the most qualified person there. Think of Raytheon as a giant retirement home, one that protects the Hughes pensions at all costs.

Cons

Working with people who are punching the clock waiting for their retirement (most of them). Arrogance runs supreme, you just have to keep telling yourself that if someone has only worked at Raytheon they are most likely retarded. The level of pure arrogance is astounding. Malaise would be a good word.

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!
