Pros

Nice overall physical campus, with library, cafeteria and large sports fields. Some very capable folks, courses available.

Cons

It depends on the department, and some are excellent. But the GNS department has serious managerial shortcomings. Managers, and there are many of them, are mostly non-technical folks. They sit in a very pleasant part of the building, with large offices, clean carpets, beautiful windows and a quiet environment, yet their engineers sit in the dungeon -- loud, dirty, cramped cubicle farm. There isn't even a decent kitchenette. Management at GNS simply does not take good care of its engineers. Since some very old engineers are kept around, well past their retirement age and past their prime, there is little room for promotion for some of their younger and mid-career employees. It's a department with almost no room for innovation. I have seen innovative ideas by some of the younger folks rudely belittled and trampled upon by crude technical leads.

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!
