Pros

- A paycheck, but not a stable or good one. - Get raytheon on your resume then use it to get a real job.

Cons

- I has here for under a year and saw 3 mass layoffs. One almost got me. - Budget cuts. I have seen managers need to pay for lunches out-of-pocket for everyone because Raytheon cut the budget (In a program generating billions). - I have seen them hire people with software engineer written in offer letter, then put them in a different position. (One guy was a janitor for a few weeks(hired a SW engineer). - They are making people return to office even though they didn't have enough desks to seat everyone in the first place. - If this is your first job just understand that more than likely you will only be learning bad practices here.
