Pros

Decent pay, fair benefits. Every other Friday off (you work extra hours for it). If you're lucky, you get to work on some very interesting projects. Can be good if you get into a program with decent program leaders or a good section head.

Cons

Worst culture I ever saw. Pure CYA and finger pointing mentality, Terrible leaders rule by intimidation. Can get ahead if the right people like you. If they don't, you're sunk. They laid off people who were willing to tell the truth and try to fix things instead of the bad bosses. Major integrity problems especially with HR people.

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!
