Pros

Raytheon prides itself on technical and engineering excellence. It doesn't build the defense platforms that most would recognize, instead Raytheon build the insides of most advanced systems in the world. It is a company that challenges its employees for excellence. Very rewarding.

Cons

HR system is archaic and there seems to be a large generational gap between the senior management and the average employee.

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!
