Pros

Biggest Pro: Cross functionality mixed with upward mobility makes long term career promising! Great experience for new college hire, huge name growing company, strong interraction with a variety of types of people and functions/departments, work/life balance, potential career growth seems promising, supportive people/environment, constantly learning new things

Cons

Biggest con: Experienced analysts are overwhelmed with too much to handle and new hires aren't given the needed attention/training to feel valuable. Other cons: Location, very steep learning curve and minimal training, MUST be able to figure things out for yourself, emphasis is placed on work/life balance but (practically) it doesn't always happen (e.g. 9/80 schedule, mod time, etc.), huge age gap (90%+ are baby boomer generation) and few new hires make it difficult to relate/learn, have left for the day feeling down/bad about myself on multiple occassions

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!
