Pros

Work with good people, intellectually stimulating, managers try to give good work-life balance. Only reason I put two stars on here instead of one is because I know that there's child slave labor in other parts of the world.

Cons

Quintessential corporate America -- your soul gets crushed over time. You could spend hours and hours going above and beyond on something and it genuinely won't mean a thing. Incredibly slow moving and boring company where you sit at a computer screen all day. Then when you are on the shop floor the unionized mechanics are all lazy and waste millions of dollars of the company's money. And then the company enacts cost-curtailment where they can't even pay for coffee in the office and lunch is not subsidized but rather actually more expensive than buying it somewhere else. Everything regarding company messaging is fake and just meant to appeal to what they think society as a whole wants.

Pros

Plenty of opportunity to move up within the company. Willing to pay for schooling through Raytheon's education program. Plenty of PTO and sick time.

Cons

I feel that the location I was at did not pay competitively.

Pros

Concern for Safety is a legitimate priority. The work is very process oriented and theres little uncertainty or chaos in the day to day. Theres a formalized way of doing everything. Work-life balance is good for the american standard.

Cons

The company is 100+ years old so the way things get done is over-constrained and very resistant to change. As a result work can be monotonous and Information, while abundant, is extremely difficult to reliably retreive. You will work harder not smarter.
