Pros

* 40 hour work weeks * Cool and unique projects that you can't talk to anyone about * You get to work on missiles * Some nice people to get to know and work with

Cons

* Red tape government type of work ... extremely slow * Friends that graduated with you will be way ahead in technical proficiency by year five in commercial industries. This place is incredibly slow * Promotion given on years served versus merit. * Inefficiency is how it's done here. Red tape everywhere. Management loves process to no end. * Managers are you ... five-ten years ago. No experience or know how-to's in managing. * No learning/training opportunities besides what you learn ... if anything ... on the job.

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!
