Pros

The compensation was good. That was all.

Cons

I was offered a competitive salary and a generous signing bonus in order to relocate from Northern California. The signing bonus was to offset the relocation repayment to my previous employer for having only worked there less than a year. I could have started two months later and not have had to repay it. However, Raytheon was pushing me to start sooner than later. They even waived the requirement for a secret security clearance as mine had lapsed and put me in for an interim so that I could perform my job. All that sounds great, but then they laid me off 5 months later due to alleged funding issues.

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!
