Pros

Great pay, benefits, large company with opportunity to move around, better opportunity than elsewhere in town, wonderful smart employees in difficult technical fields, you can stay here career long if you want

Cons

No concern for work-life balance, doesn't value the information capital in people with long careers, no knowledge management policy, doesn't value truth in speech, values the short term over the long term, speaks the innovation speak but doesn't follow through with actual R&D funding, funding for projects is difficult and bureaucratic and seemingly not tied to performance, doesn't really want to know if employees are happy . . . would rather wring them out and them prop them up with money

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!
