Pros

Fascinating work, still some great people, some businesses better than others.

Cons

Totally incompetent, stupid, corrupt, short sighted managers at the Director level and up; HR Gestapo; wave after wave of layoffs of the best customer-value-added people while keeping the idiot bureaucrats. The formula for success at Raytheon is simple 1) Make your numbers 2) Tell your boss what he wants to hear 3) Dont rock the boat.

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!
