Pros

You will find very interesting things to work on right out of school. Tasks can be very broad allowing you to build a very good skill set very quickly (people will help you if you ask for help). Good work/life balance. 9/80 schedule. Painless commute (Tucson is not very crowded, you can reach working sites within 30 - 45 minutes).

Cons

Recognition is nearly absent. Management always asks for more no matter what you do. A lot of people have a wait and see attitude until you tell them what they need to do or you do the work for them. There is a lot of people that think they know more than what they actually know.

Pros

Raytheon provides an even environment under which to develop a strong career in the defense industry. By this, I mean the hours are very regular and the work is constructive in building technical abilities and long standing skills. Projects are often rewarding with a strong mix of technical fields. There are many opportunities to work with various technical disciplines to give you a very strong overall picture of the final products in development.

Cons

Because of the natural pace of the defense industry, Raytheon has a significant amount of politics and bueracracy at the higher levels. As with all companies, it must be dealt with and managed appropriately. However, due to the higher levels of employee retention, old politics tend to play a larger role than in other companies.

Pros

If you are a hard worker and willing to promote yourself and search out work, then Raytheon has quite a bit of interesting things to work on. Lots of cutting edge technology being developed.

Cons

The management obviously treats employees as if they don't matter. Some management people insulate their incompetence by promoting other incompetent people. Management makes promises they have no intention of keeping in regard to rewarding employees for their hard work. There are also a lot of lazy people that work there.
