Pros

The company's benefits package is good.

Cons

For a company that says its employees are its most valuable and important asset experience proves this to be not true. Every year the company reduces headcount through lay-offs to make their numbers look better. 99% of their business is DOD/IC related so seeing them lay-off veterans is pretty sad, especially when many of the senior leadership has never served in the military. They like to play the big numbers game and seem to have lost sight of what is really important, serving the customer and taking care of its employees. Additionally, way too much internal competition that gets in the way of collaboration and actually helping the end customer solve complex issues with smart solutions.

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!
