Pros

There are still some highly talented engineers here that possess exceptional technical skills and are inspiring to collaborate with.

Cons

The company's recent trajectory, marked by a tumultuous takeover from UTC, has led to a noticeable decline in its performance. Once celebrated for its engineering prowess and data-driven innovation, the company now seems to be under the influence of a more financially-focused leadership. The dominance of UTC executives within the current leadership team is a significant red flag. While there's nothing inherently wrong with a financial background, the shift away from engineering and data science leadership suggests a prioritization of short-term financial gains over long-term innovation.

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!
