Pros

Big company, after the merger it's top 3 defense contractor. Rather stable, although it depends on contract/program you work. Generally benefits/compensations are on par with other competitors

Cons

Can easily get complacent, process heavy and the process is not necessarily efficient nor beneficial either. Typical defense contractor vibe - get things done when it gets done. Many young generation people do not adapt well to the laid back pace and leave within a year or two for better pay/work environment. I left because I couldn't deal with the non-sense anymore and for better pay.

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!
