Pros

If you work on a production program, chances are work can either be extremely demanding and offer plenty of technical challenges and midnight lab shifts, or boring you to death. The best type of work are usually found at CRAD (Customer-funded R & D) where one can achieve a balance of the 2.

Cons

There's plenty of career holes that one can fall into if one does their job too good at a boring field. In addition, there's plenty of technological inertia in the aerospace industry due to the inherent security needs.

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!
