Pros

I've worked at RMS for over 15 years. The job is very stable. They do have layoffs once in a while, but never anything major. You have to be very incompetent or very unlucky to get laid off from RMS. The benefit package is among the best in Tucson.

Cons

Effort for talent retention is very low. They will wine and dine you at your interview, and give you a great offer to come to Tucson. However, once you're here, they will not try anything to keep you. Promotions are hard to come by, but they'll give the higher position to new hires with no problem. Be sure to negotiate for a higher E-level than you deserve when you get your offer. Otherwise, you'll be stuck at a lowly E-level forever, and have watch new hires with no skills and no experience come in at a higher E-level than you.

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!
