Pros

Benefits, people, free gym, nice cafeteria

Cons

Support staff/admins are not recognized as "part of the team". Admins make everything run smoothly and work behind the scenes, but are rarely (and I mean almost NEVER) acknowledged, never mind rewarded. Yearly raises are beyond skimpy due to the "quartile" your current salary falls in. The longer you work there, the harder it is to get a decent raise. And admins have little to no opportunity to grow and move into salaried positions. Very disappointing, especially with all of the "people matter" messages that are always being touted. The only people that matter are the management and high ranking officers. To them goes the spoils.

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!
