Pros

Engineering salary was good. Benefits were good. Paid time off at end of year.

Cons

Operations run site. Engineers , even engineering management, had little influence. Project managers change with the wind. No stability in leadership. Engineers were seen as overpaid techs. Technicians reports to operations, not engineering. Bad idea!

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!
