Pros

Some nice co-workers. 9/80 work schedule is nice. Decent benefits.

Cons

Very political. Promotions and pays raises are doled out to "favored" employees, these are not necessarily the most effective or productive. Big diversity push. "minorities", this includes women in the engineering organizations, are pushed ahead of more experienced employees. If you are a white anglo male, tough luck.

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!
