Pros

- Fairly stable and low pressure work environment. - Opportunities for young engineers to advance, as overall population ages. - More vacation days than most other jobs.

Cons

- Not much advanced tech--even the few ECs / IRADs are limited to IT integration. - People are too overwhelmed by everyday work to think long term, both technically and strategically. - As a result, it's hard to get people excited on new technologies or approaches. People fail to communicate. - Too much bureaucracy. - Executives seem unapproachable.

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!
