Pros

Very smart engineers. Very dedicated nice people. Very complex interesting work. Culture rewards hard work up to a mid level engineer.

Cons

Too much reliance on process to overcome the loss of senior contributors during last 5 years. Inability or unwillingness to see all engineers as different with unique skill sets and therefore ability to contribute. There are some very unique skills needed in the Defense industry. Those people should be able to be singled out for added bonus or salary. However the company HR seems to think one engineer with a degree is equal ability to another with same years experience.

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!
