If you don't expect recognition or respect, you're in the right place. - Proposal Manager RTX Employee Review

Pros

Pays decently well for the area, There's a lot of dead wood in the organization which makes it easy to be a "good" employee. Most senior management is located somewhere else, so if you do good work you'll be left alone. Global mentor program and training opportunities are exceptional if you know how to get hooked up.

Cons

Indianapolis is not head of a business unit, near a customer, or near the competition. If you're 28-40 years old there's always going to be someone who's done an OK job for 25 years ahead of you -even if you're considered a rising star. Indianapolis also gets fewer Holidays, less severance, and no Profit Share when compared to most other Raytheon sites. Being far from senior management also means that getting noticed is difficult. The line I hear most is "Aren't you happy you have a job?". The "One Raytheon" philosophy isn't true.

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!
