Pros

They hire engineers, pay for graduate school, and some of the projects are interesting. Work life balance is good.

Cons

Compensation: It varies wildly based on your "business." Employees in one business get more time off, profit sharing, and bonuses while others get nothing. Promotions: If you are a new hire get ready to wait two years before your first promotion because regardless of how good you are at your job you wont get promoted before that. Get ready to see the guy sleeping in his cubicle, literally, get promoted at the same rate as you.

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!
