Good company, good senior management, good people, dumb middle management

Dallas, TX

Current Employee – been working at Raytheon

ProsGood for work-life balance
internal culture of respect for individuals
proactive treatment of minorities and women
good benefits, competitive pay

ConsToo big to manage as "one-company",
mid-level management values short-term gain over common sense and long term growth
Riged expensive processes that inhibit innovation, creativity and common sense
Clueless corporate marketing

Advice to Senior ManagementSelectively eliminate layers of middle management and empower employees
Hire mid-level managers from the commercial sector (vs defense & aerospace)
Value soft skills more - especially ability to build and motivate effecctive teams
Recognize engineers are not interchangable in a job category
