Cons
The idea of working at Raytheon turned out to be much better than actually working there. I believe it to be a great company in theory with people that really do want to make it a conducive work environment, but with such a large company growing so fast they are in way over there heads. There is waste in money and effort at every corner. If the thought of working on a project where you will in inherit 10 years of technical debt and be forced to contribute to that technical debt furthermore, this might just be the place for you. If you will be put on a new project, don't fall for the notion that there will be a clean slate and therefore a new direction that you will be able to help take a product/project. There rarely is a rev. 0 at a company this size thus making it that more critical that projects have followed processes and were held to certain software requirements. The drivers of almost all of the larger or newer projects are engineers with h/w backgrounds even though all of the backend work will be software and this can lead to many problems. Overall as a software engineer with experience at multiple companies if your work and overall quality of the work you do is of importance, I would avoid this company if you have other options. For engineers passionate about their work these types of things will slowly eat away at you.
