Pros

Good benefits, although deductibles are high. Talented workforce, working as a Team. Lots of mentoring. Availability of remote work, depending on the department. 12 holidays a year and very flexible on time (can do save/take).

Cons

Salary lower than commercial companies. Difficult to get promoted. Lots of paperwork and restrictions. The new company they switched to for managing the 401K (Alight) is not good (frustrating website, very limited options).

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!
