Pros

[1] It was a good place to work with flexible hours and hybrid capability. That was taken away. There are no positives working for less pay and hassle. [2] Attrition was nearly 40% over 2024 , so there is always work and job openings. Attrition is expected to maintain 40-60% (per corporate) thru the year due to new mandates.

Cons

(1) They are more concerned about Middle Manager / Corporate Position employees than anyone else. (2) Corporate Speak is everywhere, everything is face value and actions go against that. Employee Happiness and Flexibility is now a myth. [3] Pay is notoriously under market value. Pay raises and bonus periods are always under expectation and market values. [4] Company mandated on-site and middle managers will be tracking employee attendance. If you don't meet the new guidance they will "take action." [5] Benefits constantly change. 401k changed twice in 2 years. Benefits keep getting slimmed down for Corporate benefit.

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!
