Pros

The company doesn't care if you're deadweight, so if that's you're a slacker then consider Raytheon. The benefits are moderately good. Depending on the project you're on, they may or may not care when you come into work.

Cons

Left for a better opportunity and in the three (3) months since I left the company my PTO balance went from positive to negative, meaning I owe them money. Also, they are threatening to send me to collections due to the fact that I moved for the new job and didn't receive the first two letters they sent. Zero opportunities for growth within the company. Was asked at one point to "adjust" a Cash Account Manager's (CAM) bid on a proposal without their knowledge, which is not only unethical but illegal. Reported the incident to the ethics board and was told that I misunderstood the situation. Raises are low. Pitifully low. Doesn't matter how many hours you work, how much money you bring into the company, nothing changes that they cap the maximum raise at less than 5%.

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!
