Pros

- A paycheck, but not a stable or good one. - Get raytheon on your resume then use it to get a real job.

Cons

- I has here for under a year and saw 3 mass layoffs. One almost got me. - Budget cuts. I have seen managers need to pay for lunches out-of-pocket for everyone because Raytheon cut the budget (In a program generating billions). - I have seen them hire people with software engineer written in offer letter, then put them in a different position. (One guy was a janitor for a few weeks(hired a SW engineer). - They are making people return to office even though they didn't have enough desks to seat everyone in the first place. - If this is your first job just understand that more than likely you will only be learning bad practices here.

Pros

9/80 and every 2nd Friday off, generous vacation time.

Cons

The company is 100+ years old and functions almost entirely on inertia. Senior Management is totally disconnected from the day to day, and it shows in the content of their "community" video meetings. They talk about diversity but have no interest in applying it. Most of the time they totally ignore the needs of their disabled employees.
