Pros

Great Benefits (Best in Class), Very Flexible (To their own fault), better than average pay for several positions. Company is profitable year over year, which brings about profit sharing (usually 4%) Raytheon has the potential of being a "GREAT" Company...but profits and a self-serving management structure prevents this for happening at all levels !!!

Cons

GOOD OLE BOY NETWORK AT IT'S VERY BEST! Great place for Average White Males to excel, all others will have to be Excellent to get a chance to at same pay, advancement, and opportunity. Like all public companies, share holder value is top priority. Management bonus is outstanding, while the workers will have an average increase of 2% each year. Very large company, lots of RED TAPE, hard to get anything done. Most of the employee loyalty from the former company ( Texas Instruments ) has been completely eliminated with no signs of returning. Most retiring employees just want to leave without notification or recognition which is sad after 30, 40, and sometimes 45 years of service.

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!
