Pros

Competitive pay and reasonable benefits

Cons

I've been in corporate IT for over 20 years, but I have never experienced a company as operationally dysfunctional as this one. As a group lead I found the staffing levels for my team far too lean. We frequently didn't have the right people with the right skills and we were always operating in reaction mode. The past 2 years has been a perpetual sprint, only leading to exhaustion, burnout, and ultimately employee turnover. Totally disengaged and unqualified leadership, completely lacking vision, planning, or any insight into the capabilities of the organization. Modernization initiatives driven only by timeline without any consideration of whether the solutions are technically viable, whether they complete with existing employee workloads, or whether the designated teams are even skilled enough to complete them.

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!
