Pros

Raytheon is a very big company so your career can really be what you make of it. Each site and division is different. So you may have to be willing to move around to really grow. As with any big company, some sites are better than others. If you find a site that suits your skill sets and interests you can enjoy a growing career. Benefits are very good and work schedule is fairly flexible

Cons

It is easy to get stuck or pigeon holed into a particular program that may have dying technologies.

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!
