Pros

Work life balance, benefits, can be an intellectually stimulating environment

Cons

This company does not view women as decision makers or sources of advice or authority. Any successful company must necessarily reflect the values, behaviors and norms of its customers, and in Raytheon's case, this is mainly international customers who do not prioritize women's professional careers. The company routinely rates female employees lower than male employees, pays them less, and promotes them sparely. Female execs have a male second-in-command who is the de facto leader. Even consultants and strategic advisory boards are all male. Despite some very convincing recruitment rhetoric, Raytheon does not truly value female talent.

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!
