Pros

Interesting projects, products, and a lot of nice people at the working level.

Cons

Employees are treated as commodities. I was laid off 2 weeks ago. After being told on a Monday morning I had 2 hours to clean out my office and turn in my badge. I had a lot of work on my project and was being asked to work overtime. The program manager could not believe I was being laid off. There was no plan for anyone to pick up and cover my work. It was a complete screw up. My section manager was calling me the week after my layoff asking me how to find the data files I was working on.

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!
