Pros

I like doing front end concept design work. Uses a lot of my physics and work background. Allows me to be creative and inventive.

Cons

I am under appreciated for the type of work I do. I seem to have hit a ceiling that I will never cross. It is obvious that younger engineers are being hired in at my same title / pay grade, and are being paid more than I am. It is also obvious that younger engineers are being given opportunities for advancement in their careers which are not offered to someone my age. I do not enjoy my job anywhere near as much as I did 10 or 15 years ago, because of he lack of appreciation.

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!
