Pros

work/life balance many opportunities to wear different hats and try new things

Cons

terrible raises for MEs it's very hard to get stuff done efficiently. this con is probably more of a default con to this company because of security and how big the company is. you have to get so much sign off and people involved - your work ends up becoming less about design and technical execution and more about meeting company rules.

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!
