Pros

Opportunities for travel are the biggest benefit, with tickets to South America and New Zealand included in the deployment package. IT is becoming more and more difficult, however, to arrange personal travel around your redeployment date without having to pay additional fees and costs.

Cons

Poor communication, no respect for contract workers, few opportunities for training or growth, long work hours with little compensation, poor feedback on job performance, little to no value on morale. There is a basic disrespect from upper level management that is felt throughout the company. The company has also been hiring more and more ex-military personnel as their upper level leaders. The majority of the workers are not from a militery background and do not respond well to being treated as if they are part of a strict hierarchical workforce.

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!
