Pros

Good people from a wide range of technical backgrounds. Work can range from mundane to extremely challenging. Great opportunities for leadership exposure.

Cons

Work-life balance is tough. They are chronically understaffed across most programs, therefore much of the software development burden falls on the top performers.

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!
