Pros

Although my experience with their hiring process was extensive and involved rigorous multistage interviews, my colleagues attest that they were hired out of college without so much as coding interviews. If your university has an RTX pipeline its an exceptional first job.

Cons

Annual bonuses and raises as well as promotions depend solely on whether or not your section head bothers to advicate for you. If you get a lazy or inattentive SH, your career will stagnate.

Pros

Great entry level company. You will learn a lot on the job. There is a lot of opportunity for career movement.

Cons

Slow-paced (could be a pro for some people) Lots of "red-tape" / paperwork Management is questionable. Couldn't land prime contracts and over committed on some proposals. This led to massive layoffs.
