Pros

Location is superb-beautiful area, close to LAX. Strong professionals some with better work ethics than others. Raytheon is still in the sub contracting mentality, which is fine, if that is where they want to be but if they want to be a prime then they must support the long term effort.

Cons

Communications between upper and lower management needs to improve.

Pros

The cross-functional nature of the projects allow you to learn from many people with various levels of experience and diverse skill sets.

Cons

Seniority often trumps performance and merit. Promotions are usually based on years of experience and not performance nor potential. The culture is slow to change.

Pros

-NOTE: This review is for Raytheon Missile Systems in Tucson, AZ -Decent pay (for Tucson) -Opportunities for continued education through the U of A or any graduate school that has distance learning program. Other on-site educational programs. -Great work-life balance. 9/80 work week = 26 Off Friday's per year. Federal holidays on Monday's occasionally create 4 day weekends without any PTO. Paid vacation from Christmas through New Years.

Cons

-Salary compression -Bureaucracy. Processes and procedures get in the way of progress. -Politics - sometimes even within the Engineering department. Occasional conflicts between program and functional management. -Not a lot of diversity in work content. There are specialists for every technical discipline and managers are sometimes territorial. -Experience and ability isn't always the top consideration for new hires.
