Pros

Good place to develop programming skills as a software engineer. Many good engineers to work with and learn from. Very interesting domain, you really feel like the product you are working on is meaningful.

Cons

Many average engineers that are carried by the stronger engineers. Also, there are many engineers in positions that provide little value to the program, but are there because of seniority. Award fees rarely trickle down to engineers that actually work on implementation of a product, so incentive to work hard is not really there.

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!
