Pros

Stable Job with good co workers.

Cons

A lot of do nothing employees. 90% of work is performed by 20% of the people. Career growth is incredibly slow, and minor and does not reflect actual contribution but rather time in a role. Raises are 1-3% each year for everyone with 1 person from your section getting 4%. Zero correlation to what you actually do for the company. Management is very out of touch which results in End of year discussions that are pointless and just check a box. Often new hires will hire in making more than people who have 4-5 years experience.

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!
