Pros

large company with large company benefits that is pretty much standard across all large aerospace companies.

Cons

Mgmt style for EO divisions/centers were based on mgmt style from the parent Radar company back east, Raytheon's HQ, and is quite different than the way business was managed on the West Coast. Before Raytheon took over, business was better run when it was Hughes. Managers come and go rather quickly, based on whether upper mgmt likes them or not...

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!
