Pros

Competitive Initial Salary 9/80 Work Schedule and Mod-Time

Cons

-Lack of Culture and Social Events for employees. -Antiquated office space in Tewksbury Sudbury building. They need to brighten it up and actually spend money on these spaces. I felt like I was going back in time to the 1980s in these spaces. -Often times process/documentation hinders innovation. -There is no charge number for trainings so you have to do these trainings on your own time (aside from the 9 hr work day) -No clear path to a promotion is depicted during performance reviews. Often times it takes 3-7 years for promotion to occur regardless of performance. -Small cost of living increases. Often times the cost of living increase is 2% (Please Note: Health Insurance cost goes up at the same rate so your left just breaking even). - Small bonus. During my stay the max percentage I got was 3% which is equivalent to 1 paycheck.

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!
