Pros

Raytheon gave me a strong platform to springboard into my career's future growth. The potential for growth is immense! Programs will see completely different cultures based on your direct leadership, or roughly 2 layers of it at least. I was lucky to land in a fantastic crowd! If I had stayed I would no doubt be snowballing in to a great career. Unfortunately, pay did not increase rapidly enough for me to consider staying.

Cons

Work culture and humanity in general is stagnant and fully dependent on your social skills. Raytheon doesn't provide anything worth mentioning to promote basic work place happiness. Free coffee is almost so extreme an idea that they spin it that the company will financially go bankrupt if it provided free coffee to employees.

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!
