Good pay
overseas assignment opportunities
recognizable organization
straight forward application process if you were good at your job in the Army
great benefits
Cons
work culture is EXTREMELY contract dependent ( hit or miss)
can hit a brick wall as far as career progression (on low-turnover overseas contracts)
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!
