Pros

Good opportunities to move around the company, between locations and even job functions. I always found my interactions with employees to be friendly, there are not a lot of big egos here and there is a good sense of teamwork. If you make the effort, you can develop an excellent network, even including members of the executive team.

Cons

Raytheon reflects the mentality of most of its government customers, often slow to change and bureaucratic. Not the most efficient on the business management and finance side, though I can't speak for engineering. Financial systems here are outdated and there is a lot of manual work that could be automated. Like many corporate finance jobs, the work is cyclical and can become boring.

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!
