Pros

I was pay very well and learn a life lesson that pay is not everything.

Cons

You are an object, a peg, something to be used up and throw away. Management talks about work life balance. There is none. They will call you at the hospital, At 2am on vacation, at night. They will cancel your vacation. GPS OCX is the worst. I had to stand in line to turn in my badge after I quit.

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!
