Pros

Raythoen offers an attractive benefits package as well as a good work/life balance environment. Employees have the opportunity to work a "9/80" schedule which allows for every other Friday off.

Cons

There is a terrible negative vibe in the workplace. Too many older workers feel entitled and are extremely lazy. The HR department has too much say in promotions and raises instead of direct supervisors who see an employees direct performance.

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!
