Pros

Get to work with intelligent individuals Good benefits package Relatively good work/life balance Advanced technologies

Cons

High levels for bureaucracy, so much so that the process/formality takes away the ability for individuals to think creatively. This also puts a stranglehold on the flexibility of the company (and its employees).

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!
