Pros

Good work Environment Average pay and benefits Unstable/growth industry, dependent upon government funding Rewarding work where you can make a difference in the national security and defense

Cons

Work-life balance can get out of sync easily, there is no respect at work, even though they preach it weekly via email, but if there is a dead line or not, you'll end up working overtime or the weekend, for extended periods of time based on company's desire to meet demanding project schedules. Too many unstable internal processes, due to, many merger and acquisitions, where none were unified. Poor management mind set with cut throat office politics.

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!
