Pros

Supports the warfighter. Shuts down for a week at Christmas.

Cons

Bogged down with over the top processes. Far too much time spent on respect and ethics training which is often times ignored by "leaders". Says they don't have "quotas" but based on the makeup of your particular location you are given a list each year stating you need to hire X number of women, X number of POC's (persons of color), etc. Whether you are qualified or not seems to be secondary.

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!
