Pros

9/80 work week, 401k, and paid holidays are great. People are professional. Can learn a lot if you can get on R&D projects. Salary is competitive, but not great. Managers are friendly. Great work/life balance.

Cons

Management tells you what you want to hear. Very political. People that have been with company for a while are disgruntled. Promotions are very rare - seem to go to "favored" employees. Business development has a difficult time getting more work (lay offs). Diversity-centric mindset is annoying.

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!
