Pros

9/80 schedule (if you can use it) Job stability (company is currently in a growth period) Competitive starting salary Interesting end products

Cons

Ethically-challenged management (seems to extend up to highest levels) Unappealing culture. Overly negative and serious, poor morale, felt stagnant. Many lifelong employees without much desire to improve Lackluster benefits (and trending downwards), low raises Advancement is based upon tenure, not skills or performance Incredible amount of red tape and bureaucracy make getting things done challenging Inflexible work from home policy. Routinely expected to drive to work during blizzard conditions. I agree with the other reviews that stated “like swimming in maple syrup” and “company always comes first, even at the expense of the employee”. I went in holding Raytheon in the highest regard and left sorely disappointed.

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!
