Pros

Benefits are decent. After 15 years of service, the company grants you 5 weeks of Paid Time Off. You can't get that anywhere.

Cons

Bad managers are hard to rid. Face it. Working for someone that you don't trust just doesn't work. A manager that is a bully is even worse. Even if 20 people have the same issue with the same person, it is hard to create a case to make a difference. HR has built of culture of do nothing. Employees that have approached HR to open a case create a lot of overhead and at the end, no change has occurred, no improvement in place and just a lot of awkwardness for the future. Employees have been taught that it's better to "do nothing" thereby creating a cycle of doom and gloom.

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!
