Pros

It's difficult to get fired/laid off.

Cons

From the perspective of someone early career: * Loose skills over time, little to no opportunities to learn new things. * Engineers out of college may be seen as tools to accomplish menial tasks depending on your manager. * You may be thrown into the deep end, not in the great opportunity sense, but given a project that you don't even have access to the required resources to accomplish, and no training on how to use tools required to do the work.

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!
