Pros

Challenging high-tech atmosphere, contributing towards national defense can be a rewarding experience.

Cons

Bureaucracy can be stifling at times, and red-tape needed to cut through to effect changes in processes can be frustrating. It can seem as if the business plan and forecast for our products is not well aligned with the customer base.

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!
