Pros

Bi-weekly paycheck Some what affordable health care Great HSA managed by Fidelity Holiday shutdown between Christams and New Years Day for most employees

Cons

401 (k) manager switched from Industry Best (Fidelity) to sub par, poor performing nobody. No more pensions. Small amount of PTO (lumped sicke days and vacation) Sporadic work. No long term projects to work on for most. If you are a "good engineer", you are overworked, on multiple projects. New hires have a hard time assimilating due to this. A hand full of the chosen engineers get all the work while everone else gets random tasks. Too many people STILL goofing off working from home or hybrid.

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!
