Pros

Probably the best people I've worked with. Benefits are good. They make every effort to place you elsewhere when programs finish.

Cons

Several IIS programs are in serious trouble. IIS is comprised almost exclusively of Software Engineers, and IIS is 'blindly' invoking the agile - scrum software development methodology on these programs. In addition to essentially mandating very poor software solutions, agile - scrum has also transitioned software engineering departments in to a very dismal existence for software engineers.

Pros

I worked at Raytheon for over 4 years and had a great experience. The company provided many learning and growth opportunities. I was promoted twice during my tenure with the company, and my responsibility increased significantly. I felt like my management supported me and provided me with the career mentorship that I was seeking. I felt empowered and respected during my time there.

Cons

It can be difficult to work at such a large defense contractor company because of all the process and red tape. Things can move slowly, you have to be patient and pick your battles. That being said, if you learn how to work within the system, you can make a significant impact here!
