Pros

* Employees are treated well and with respect. * Work vs. family life is never an issue. * Friendly coworkers and relaxed atmosphere. * Good benefits package. * Continuing education is encouraged.

Cons

* Managers are afraid to give honest estimates, therefore impossible deadlines & ensuing schedule overrun are the norm. * Managers are not technical so they let programmers run the show. * No software development process used for any project (not even waterfall). * Making necessary infrastructure changes is harder than pulling teeth.

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!
