Pros

Decent pay, but not the best Decent benefits Ability to have a flexible work schedule, that is, if your boss is accommodating Was MUCH better 5 years ago than today.

Cons

Few opportunities for experienced hires to advance Lousy management in some divisions Poor work-life balance Poor severance & COBRA handling, it WILL cost you time and money when you leave Once you work for this defense contractor, you will find it hard to work elsewhere as Raytheon saps your mind, body, and initiative. Very, very frustrating to try and accomplish anything.

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!
