Pros

Very easy going company to work for with great technology and innovation. Also the people that compose raytheon are a bunch of intelligent happy going people. great work atmosphere. With the PTO (paid Time off) that you earn every month and the ability to work from home by company provided rsa cards, Raytheon is a dream to work at. Your paid time off can be taken at anytime, even to the point that you can go in half days. Also with the ability to work from home, you can treat that in the same fashion with PTO. HR is very friendly and helpful.

Cons

Some times the customer is always right will get on your nerves seriously hard. There are times of indeciciveness especially when your a software engineer. There can be times where you will go to a software design review, get all of the specs that are to compose your product, go and make a product that complies to what was said in the Design review, and end up changing and testing your product 5 times because the customer wants to see something a certain way. When birthdays come about there is the tendancy to go out to lunch, although you could be trying to meet a deadline.

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!
