RTX reviews

- Morals and ethics is biggest problem as upper level project management is like working with "Enron" supervision. The brass (i.e., supervision) wants the cash. - As contracts end they lay-off the technical brains and experts but keep their ex-military officers who “in the past” won the contracts. They rarely still have have friends in the government after the length of waterfall contract contracts to win them more. - As proposals are prepared many extra management positions are added to the proposal for no solid reason. - Many supervisors simply were never trained to communicate with their staffing to have everyone work as a “team” and listen to other ideas and suggestion from all levels. The “feet-on-the-desk” managers are difficult to communicate with as all issue/decision conclusions go their way or no way. - Advancement/promotions for those without brass military experience are rare. The “Stereotyping Company” is Raytheon’s nickname. Many lower level ex-military personnel rarely receive promotions also. - Commonly, if a lower level employee has a great new design or methodology the supervision or management will take the idea and lay them off the fellow. They want to make sure no “one is better then me”.

Running a very tight ship also means little investment in employee moral and enjoyment. This costs money. If this is unimportant to you, then this may not be something to consider.
