Pros

- They don't sweat the small stuff - Benefits are quite good - They work on cutting-edge and interesting projects - Endless opportunities to move around career-wise

Cons

- Overseas experience was terrible - Hard place to fit in if you do not come from MIL background - Group of folks who work there tend to be homogenous. It's quite boring and uninteresting in that sense. - Middle managers are scared to be decisive due to potential backlash. - Folks tend to settle there forever and are satisfied with doing just that.

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!
