Pros

I had some great mentors early in my career, and it was a training facility for my current job. I tried so hard to be appreciated there that I built up technical skills that make me appreciated where I am now. -- They paid for my graduate school.

Cons

I would get positive reviews from my program management, then mediocre performance ratings from my functional management. Went to my boss and asked how I could improve, he didn't have an answer for me, but eventually said that my salary was too low to be promoted, just to wait it out. They weren't interested in my retention until I had already accepted an amazing offer somewhere else.

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!
