Pros

Haven't been laid off yet! Latest program has a much better culture than previous program. Competing company wants me now!

Cons

See "Older Women Engineers Not Respected," posted July 7, 2016 Same story as 3 years ago... Haven't been promoted in more than 10 years. Served in progressively higher positions, but haven't received recognition or a significant increase in pay. Functional management is inexperienced and untrained. If you try to advocate for yourself, you will be accused of being "difficult" or having "behavior issues" and black marked. I work an average 20 hours overtime every week because my team is understaffed, is really young/green, requires lots of mentoring and coaching, and doesn't work any extra hours because they all make more $$ than I do or are at a higher level. When I bring this up to functional managers, they blame me and say I don't know how to manage my team. Fed up and ready to bolt even though only a few years away from drawing my early retirement pension! The company's no retaliation stance is "FAKE! FAKE!, FAKE! FAKE!" The company is plagued with sociopaths.

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!
