Pros

The best reasons to work at Raytheon is that they are fully involved in cutting edge technologies and they offer many locations across the United States as well as International locations. They treat you like a professional. If you are technical, you can stay technical; you do not have to go into Management in order to progress in your career.

Cons

Some of the downsides of working at Raytheon are that the available of jobs goes up or down depending upon the economy. When it comes time for reduction in force, sometimes the more seasoned individuals may get caught up in a layoff because at lean times, only extremely "value added" positions are "safe".

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!
