Pros

-Competitive salary and benefits -Talented and nice co-workers, lots of opportunities for mentors

Cons

-You get promoted based on who you know and whether you go to the same church as they do, not what you do -Management refuses to demote or fire bad project managers, if a project fails they just seem to shuffle them on to another project -The Garland division isn't doing very well, haven't won many new contracts to my knowledge

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!
