Pros

Diversity of projects to work on due to the high number of contracts at the El Segundo location. Good benefits and relatively relaxed atmosphere. I rated my experience rather high because I worked on well funded challenging contracts that gave the opportunity for travel and overtime if wanted, not mandatory. However, I know people that worked on contracts with funding problems and they seemed to dread their job. I can only grade Raytheon based on my particular work experience.

Cons

Location, painful commute. There are not many desireable, affordable housing areas near El Segundo and there is no easy way through the traffic. Many facilities look 30 years old.

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!
