Pros

The pay was decent and was given challenging assignments and projects to work on. Learned many new programs and how the defense contract world works.

Cons

Due to smaller defense budgets, contracts were not coming through - layoffs were a result. The work environment was very poor. Every week more people were laid off.

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!
