Pros

I have been with Raytheon for a long time. It is full of great people and opportunties. Benefits are pretty good. PTO, Holidays etc. Pay is competitive, and they have a performance bonus as well that can get pretty large. Cool technology, innovation centers that employees can use and other small perks at larger facilities.

Cons

The company culture has taken a turn for the worse since Swanson (former Raytheon CEO) retired. He was and engineering and worked his way up from entry-level. Back then, all town-hall type meetings focused on technology and customer needs. It was always said, that if we meet our commitments to our customers, the financials will fall into place. With the new leadership, everything is about finance results, cost cutting, etc. It seems RTX is going the same direction as Boeing. Away from being an engineering company, to one run by "bean counters".

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!
