Pros

Great coworkers Interesting products PTO and 401K match are OK

Cons

Very sub-market raises as RTX seeks to be average with its salaries No consideration for 20% inflation over the last 4 years. Executives getting very large increases (40-100%). Big stock buybacks which also benefits executives. Cutbacks in spending and investment to prop up cash flow used to buy back stock. As a result product cycles are impacted, innovation is stifled, and middle management keeps head down for fear of being cut like previous good managers and directors. Replacement managers are chosen to prop up HR metrics but are not knowledgeable, innovative, or effective. These actions will result in the same situation Boeing finds itself.

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!
