Pros

Good benefits Work life balance Interesting work Lots of resources

Cons

Bureaucracy and empty promises from corporate leaders (like moving away from remote work after promising more remote options/support) Can be switched around to different projects on a whim (the nature of contract work) Lots of outdated, bloated technology you can get stuck maintaining Sometimes no support and very little documentation for new devs trying to learn huge codebases

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!
