Pros

Great people to work with Work is challenging and stimulating Competitive salary if you haven't been a lifer at the company

Cons

- Benefits have tumbled in quality since merger (Ex: went from high ranked 401k provider to the lowest ranked 401k provider in the country) - Business Units and Corporate HQs no longer in New England and focus no longer in New England - Company slowly turning into UTC values (not Raytheon). - Employee focus and caring is gone in place of focus on Wall Street and Executive Bonuses - They talk a good game with diversity and inclusion, but upper management LOVES their segregated parking - Quiet blocking of internet sites (not focused on security, but rather non-work related). - Latest internet blocking (coming soon): Employees will no longer be permitted to access personal email sites from company equipment. This will be a detriment to those employees working on programs. Another way to cut us off from our families while in the office.

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!
