Pros

- Good benefits - Some jobs have good work life balance (although people are getting more stretched year over year) - Cross functional teams are enjoyable to work in - Job stability

Cons

- Management is out of touch and micromanages throughout the businesses and within the functional matrix - Difficult to find meaningful and challenging finance positions (a lot of positions are centered around report generation and consolidation of data) - Sandbagging is encouraged over accuracy - Have often heard the phrase "people are lucky to have a job" - this has led to a lot of high potentials leaving the company for better positions because they were unable to progress without "putting in their time"

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!
