Pros

Fantastic Job security Low pressure flexible hours Has a few really intelligent employees that are great to learn from

Cons

low pay Only 20% of the employees actually work. The rest are just coasting and collecting a pay check Heavily based on seniority rather than performance. They have not only followed the peter principle, but they kept going with it. Software department managers only care about making money and not about the customer or the products

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!
