Pros

If you enjoy sitting at your desk killing time for months at a time, then this is the place for you. On several occasions, I asked co-workers "has anyone told you what we're suppose to be doing ?". The response was "No." Then, when something finally came down the line ... Read "Cons"

Cons

Very politically charged situation that has nothing to do with ability or accomplishments. If you brown nose then, even though you can't figure out why your C++ code won't compile on a Ada compiler, you can become a technical lead two years out of college. And if you do try to actually excel, you had better do it in less than 50 lines of code or your thick fix will set off an alarm and you'll be sent packing because you might jepordize the "truck load of money backing up to there door." And since Arizona is a "right to work" state, they can liable you and there is nothing that you can do about it. Where is 60 minutes when you need them.

Pros

great people. there are some very smart and talented junior engineers, although the only thing that keeps them is a tight job market. great pay and benefits. fantastic work schedule. laxed dress code if you just show up and get easy work done, turn your brain off, you can make a great living for 40 years..

Cons

way too many processes and procedures...the processes are so complex even the managers or people enforcing the processes do not understand them. it takes about six months to make any sort of technical change...working relationship between groups (sotware, systems, mechanical, etc) is pathetic at best. managers look out for their own interests. i am former military and this is by far the worst management ive ever seen as a whole (and ive seen leaders get people killed in combat) . managers are passive agressive, engineering types who dont really know what they are doing, but expect their junior engineers to just magically figure it out. most people, even those with the company for 20 years have NO CLUE on what they are doing. this makes work very frustrating. also, the senior engineers at the company are typically VERY arrogant. they are very unwilling to share information and spend most of their time trying to make it look like they know everything. if i worked on the same project for 20 years if hope to know a lot about it too.... also, the promotion potential pretty much sucks...managers charged with evaluating their employees performance have no idea what they work on or in some cases who they are...those managers mostly look out for their own best interests..

Pros

Raytheon NCS has the best management of any place I've worked. I always had plenty to complain about at my other jobs, but not at Raytheon. Leadership tries to listen and improve things.

Cons

Raytheon NCS primarily deals with military and government contracts. So, the culture is pro-military and usually conservative-leaning. If those aren't your views, then this company may not be a good fit.
