Pros

good benefits and 9/80 work week

Cons

new management now cares way more about the companies margins than its employees. So corners are cut across the board. It amazing for a rich company to be so cheap. From eliminating any spending on employees training and food or even coffee expenses, to not having any Christmas Holiday celebrations (none at all, not even a pot luck lunch) to actual layoffs (that's despite company having record profits). The company is now operating as a cheap sweat shop

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!
