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.
