Pros

Overall, you will have many competent and experienced coworkers at Raytheon. I never felt animosity from any coworker.

Cons

As a younger engineer, I felt I spent too much time doing paperwork and process-oriented tasks rather than productive work. Since it's a government contractor, the pace of real work was slowed down a lot, bogged down in process.

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!
