Pros

This company values balanced employees, encouraging work/life balance by being very flexible with hours. Although this was going away as I left, some were able to maintain an 8/80 schedule. Raytheon seems to have a disproportionate number of female employees in a male dominated field. And regardless of gender, race, sexual identity, etc., there was always an environment of respect.

Cons

Promotion within the company can be stalled unless your management is willing to let you go. This can drag out and impede upward mobility.

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!
