Pros

Good place to work right out of college, get your knocks in, and then move on elsewhere.

Cons

Politically oriented work environment. Information hiding, which exists for self-preservation, is the standard norm. Performance is expected to, and often does, come at the expense of co-workers. This place exhibits a very poor team-oriented environment. Creative solutions are strongly discouraged. Organizational changes occur constantly, keeping most employees off-balance with regard to job security. Lay-offs occur frequently.

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!
