Pros

The compensation and work/life balance. If you work at Raytheon and live in Tucson, you live like a king. It is a great place to accumulate wealth, not just earn a high salary. The current global situation has allowed for excessive funding for many projects, which forces young employees to grow quickly out of necessity.

Cons

Very tracked career path. If you overachieve, it does not always lead to a promotion or recognition; you may have to do your time in order to be promoted. This does not happen at other companies, where performance is recognized almost immediately.

Pros

Typical large firm, rather stable but set in their ways. Decent benefits, and pay. Being large much potential for different assignments, especially if you are an engineer, a vet, a minority or a female. I am none of these. Providing quality defense products to our men & women in the Armed Forces is the only reason I'm still there.

Cons

Unusual culture, have heard statements like "job on the line" even when the issue is clearly out of your control. Bureaucracy is as expected at a large company, it's made worse when you are sitting across a table from people with 40, 35, or 30 year service pins. Don't expect to make any quick changes and as mentioned above especially if you are not an Engineer or Vet or a Female or a Minority.

Pros

Great place to launch a career. Good exposure to technology.

Cons

The culture does not have very much freedom. Felt like I was serving a prison sentence while working there. What isadvertised should be changed to discretionary by management because that is who really decided on everything. Management should not penalize or take it personally when employees leave their organizations. They have a habit of publicly berating and exclusion like I have never seen before. Yet they advertise, "you are in control of your career." When you do take control, management will badmouth you to the rest of the organization in order to deter anyone else from doing the same. Management through fear and intimidation is not good for any business.
