Pros

job stability, ethical leadership, some colleagues are extremely competent, interesting products, great place to be if you are considered to be a diverse employee.

Cons

To meet diversity goals too many incompetents are put into leadership positions, Promotions seem to be mostly based upon whether you are “diverse”. Leaders are chosen based on who has their hand up, waving that they want to be a leader rather than leaders being chosen based upon exhibited behaviors in the workplace. Difficult to implement improvements to processes. Not the best place to be if you’re an aging white male who still wants to grow his career. I’ve never encountered so much incompetence in positions of authority.

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!
