Pros

The Employee Scholar Program is great.

Cons

Starting salaries are competitive, but raise pools are level with inflation. In most years, exceptional performers can expect raise differentiation of 2-3% over the raise pool. Engineers are "strongly encouraged" by management to work lots of uncompensated casual overtime and hours above 40 per week cannot be documented - which is illegal on government projects. Politics in many groups can be cutthroat - but that's true in many other companies. Staff turnover is high in comparison with other 2 companies where I've worked.

Pros

Plenty of opportunity to move up within the company. Willing to pay for schooling through Raytheon's education program. Plenty of PTO and sick time.

Cons

I feel that the location I was at did not pay competitively.

Pros

Concern for Safety is a legitimate priority. The work is very process oriented and theres little uncertainty or chaos in the day to day. Theres a formalized way of doing everything. Work-life balance is good for the american standard.

Cons

The company is 100+ years old so the way things get done is over-constrained and very resistant to change. As a result work can be monotonous and Information, while abundant, is extremely difficult to reliably retreive. You will work harder not smarter.
