Pros

A technology based company, Raytheon products support first responders in emergencies, protect the lives of servicemen and women, facilitate safe travel and other efforts an employee can be proud to have contributed to. The company has multiple sites across the United States, and hires for engineering, manufacturing and multiple functional disciplines. Raytheon promotes core values, and is committed to diversity and inclusion.

Cons

The company leans to the conservative, however, this allows Raytheon to perform with consistency. In terms of talent acquisition, requisitions for new hires tend to be written for a siloed approach (for example, to be successful, a candidate must possess X years within the silo; someone with transferrable skills may be "screened out" if their experience comes from another discipline)--not that this is any different than industry peers. Lateral moves for rotational development require a creative approach.

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!
