Pros

(Middle) Management is supportive of balance between work life and personal life. They recognize when you have done a good job and support your decisions. The compensation is good, but the benefits could have been better (as a co-op student). The learning and networking opportunities were good. The team I worked with was very supportive and I would not hesitate to recommend others to a similar position.

Cons

Top management ignoring or pushing aside some reasonable requests from dedicated employees looking to grow. Seemingly increasing budget cuts each year for our department which makes it hard to accommodate growth and requests of employees.

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!
