Pros

I've made a lot of really good friends here and honestly enjoy every day at work. Depending on your program you can have a really great work/life balance. Down side is you may very well be on a program with terrible balance and mandatory over time. It's a government contractor. You're not going to run out of work any time soon.

Cons

It's so hard to get noticed and/or promoted. There are unofficial-official rules about how long you need to stay at a particular level before you're promoted. It's more based on seniority than skill.

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!
