Pros

Typical large firm, rather stable but set in their ways. Decent benefits, and pay. Being large much potential for different assignments, especially if you are an engineer, a vet, a minority or a female. I am none of these. Providing quality defense products to our men & women in the Armed Forces is the only reason I'm still there.

Cons

Unusual culture, have heard statements like "job on the line" even when the issue is clearly out of your control. Bureaucracy is as expected at a large company, it's made worse when you are sitting across a table from people with 40, 35, or 30 year service pins. Don't expect to make any quick changes and as mentioned above especially if you are not an Engineer or Vet or a Female or a Minority.

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!
