Pros

Benefits package is significant. I'm surprised by the diversity of benefits they offer.

Cons

Raytheon has increasingly been squeezing down employee compensation, first by consistently low raises across the board, but also by taking away performance sharing. Finally, there are typically loads of more senior engineers in any program, which presents an entrenched barrier to promotion.

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!
