Pros

Pay and benefits are good.

Cons

Management less competent than at most similar companies - serious deficit in basic management training. Employees constantly worried about what they say for fear of standing out or being politically incorrect - little honest communication. Management outside of programs stays in their ivory tower, so has no idea what's going on below them - seems like they don't want to know. Company tends to over-glorify high flyers too soon, promoting beyond their capabilities, especially women and minorities - sets them up for mediocrity - "they don't know what they don't know."

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!
