Pros

Technically challenging work and lots of ways to find your niche and add value. Good job security, and easy to move to another program in the company as needed.

Cons

When you start a new program, very poor knowledge transfer and predecessor typically gone already. Room to stand out because management and leadership skills are very poor, and reporting to 8 bosses at once (they call "matrix" but feels more like being a contractor, seldom seeing the supervisor that signs your paychecks) Which was ok until the merger with UTC 4 years ago. Since then, it's a constant management shuffle and constant process changes that are poorly communicated, if at all. Then, after 4 years of talking about "Office of the Future" and promising facility upgrades that never materialized, the latest executive newbie issued an edict that 100% of employees return to the office 5 days a week...regardless of the lack of seating or desk space. Requests for ADA disability accommodations to continue working from home at least some days was rejected (documentation veteran disability status not enough, demands of fresh doctor forms and very rigid process). Needless to say, chaos is the result

Pros

Good environment to learn entry level Cybersecurity within RMF. Tucson, AZ has a good training team/program. I came within RTX with another role and so far, the training and support is very helpful. Good work life balance. Opportunities for growth.

Cons

As always, the pay bands are very disproportionate; Its hard to evaluate pay ranges on average without coming to sites such as Glassdoor.

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.
