Pros

Really smart coworkers, really interesting work, and really important work. Also pays well for the area, including graduate education reimbursement. Most coworkers have a cynically optimistic view of the bureaucracy, which is refreshing.

Cons

Cubicles, limited career advancement opportunities (besides the grad education track), and Dilbert is no longer a hilarious cartoon for me because it's way too real. The bureaucracy, if not dealt with humorously, can be depressing.

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!
