Pros
- Lovely people on staff for the most part. Despite a short stay, I still keep in touch with the great majority of my former co-workers - Relatively easy. Raytheon is not on top of their workflow, management is poor (at least in finance in SAS). This makes it easy to simply exist and collect paychecks if that's your zone - Good benefits. 9/80 schedule can allow for every other Friday off (should your schedule permit you to do that, which mine did not on most occasions
Cons
- Untrustworthy. No exit interview, zero follow up as to why I left etc. - Turnover. I hired into a team that had brought in about 5 new employees within a few months of my joining. Within the year, 3 employees have left the company and a few others are trying to leave. There is little to no recognition for being a top performer. A co-worker of mine routinely worked 60 hours a week, almost never took their 9/80s, received little no support from our manager (who subsequently left our group to work in FPA, so no worries she took care of herself); all of this while working through his MBA. I have never worked for a company I'd say this about - but I'd highly recommend that any top talent (top tier school, CPA/MBA, etc) avoid working here unless its a stepstone. You'll be under paid, over-worked, and few people have the ability to really teach you anything significant. You will instead routinely receive templates that are "idiot-proof", but don't work. Or data entry like instructions for major EVM/EAC reporting, simplifications that do not require any real understanding (which is reflected in the constant negative EAC's and ridiculous management targets that follow).
