Pros

Great people and opportunities to build technical skills.

Cons

Constant interruption of personal time, especially post COVID and working from home. Expectation for engineering to consistently work evenings and weekends. Missed numerous family events, milestones, funerals and vacations due to Pratt. Same expectations not consistent across other organizations so you might get lucky.

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.
