Pros

Relocation package and sign-on bonus was great. A great place to start your career for the first couple years. 9/80 schedule is great and you get bonuses every year. There are a lot of great people that I had the pleasure of working with.

Cons

Hard to advance in your career, and difficult to change roles within the company. It is high-stress and hard to keep a work-life balance. I was working above my grade level but wasn't getting paid for said grade level. I was in line for a promotion for 2 years but was never given one, yet I would be "promised" one at every performance review. Had the unfortunate experience of being in a couple teams with a toxic environment, which made working on tasks harder than it should have been. Everyone there looked overworked, thus higher attrition rate. If you ever have serious concerns that needs to be addressed by HR, they will think of the company first and you last.

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!
