Pros

-Once you're in, you're in. It's really hard to get fired here. -9/80 schedule means you work 9 hour days but get every other Friday off -Big push for younger engineers and minorities -Really cool projects to get involved in if you seek them out

Cons

-Creepy old men. If you're a young, pretty, female at this company prepare to possibly cause some cases of whiplash. The best way to counteract that is to hang a picture of your boyfriend in your cube (most guys will get the hint). -Soooo many rules and regulations but that comes with the industry -EXIM sucks. all around sucks.

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!
