Pros

The compensation is excellent for a new college graduate. The 9/80 schedule cannot be beat. The work life balance is excellent and most senior engineers are willing to work with you to solve complex problems. The current market for Missiles is incredibly strong, so there is plenty of work to do and many ways for a new hire to immediately contribute.

Cons

Too many employees have been there for 25+ years and do not adjust well to change. They find ways to continue doing things inefficiently based on legacy practices learned decades ago. Also, very difficult for an engineer to transition into a business role.

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!
