Pros

Good money and some high tech work when you can find it.

Cons

Raytheon Management is so interested about company awards, CMMI, etc. but completely uninterested in making the company actually better. There is a lot of back-stabbers and kiss-asses which really does get one promoted.

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!
