Pros

Every other Friday off. Flexible working hours

Cons

Your experience will entirely depend on what team you get placed on. Few teams do cutting edge development, vast majority do not. If you are not on a cutting edge team your days will move at a snail's pace and you'll have to find things to make yourself look busy because you will not be getting much work. Would be a good company to coast to retirement at but not good for right out of college. You are not paid for required meetings and have to make up that time later in the day or week.

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!
