Pros

If you enjoy working for the US government and working within large organizations Raytheon is the place for you. They give a lot of employee flexibility with time off and treat employees with respect. The work is constantly changing and there are lots of programs to work on located across the country.

Cons

Very little innovation is encouraged within government programs for Defense. Which can stifle some employees. The company is also heavily populated by older entrenched co-workers and management which can completely stop any growth and change.

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!
