Pros

There's a lot of flexibility in terms of work hours, and in general it seems like there's good support for work/life balance. As a younger engineer, there's a lot of more experienced engineers to learn from, when I can get their attention. On projects I feel like I get a lot of freedom to complete assigned tasks.

Cons

The work comes in waves: either I'm really busy or I'm doing nothing, slight edge towards the latter. As a younger employee, I spend a good amount of time wondering what I should do next. I'm not very clear as far as what skills I should develop in order to add more value to the teams I work with.

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!
