Pros

located in the south bay great medical/dental

Cons

buddy system is how every program works. If you are friends with managers, you get raises and promotions. When you can't do the tasking required of your new level, they just do a reorg and place you somewhere else to drain their budget Doing a great job gets you maybe an email, but not much else. Others, who exaggerate their skills and abilities end up getting recognition. Company has lost the technical core. Older, senior people are being replaced by those with great resume skills. Lots of programs are failing due to people faking skill levels and not coming through when real work is needed.

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!
