Pros

Work/life balance are ideal; enjoyed the vast breadth of experience; good people to work with.

Cons

Tried to move to two roles that were promotions, both moves approved by hiring manager then nixed by HR. Positions were filled through the company diversity initiative. When asked what I could do to be better I was told to compete for accelerated leadership program. I applied then was told that is geared towards certain demographics as well. Great place if you don't mind being a work-horse and watching others doing less move up.

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!
