Pros

Raytheon is a large, diverse company with many different opportunities. It can weather the ups & downs of defense market by shifting focus to international or civilian business, etc. If you are interested in doing different things, you can usually find something within the company. It's hard to generalize with such a large workforce, but for the most part people care about their job, and try to do their best. The company offers industry standard pay and benefits - not the best, but not bad either.

Cons

Being a defense contractor, most programs are not dealing with cutting edge technologies. The company is very process driven, which stifles creativity somewhat, but allows for more consistent results. Corporate culture is slow to change and react to markets.

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!
