Pros

Defense based culture - lots of patriotism, rules and process Attention to people - good work/life balance, diversity, benefits and compensation Aggressive when going after big contracts (big is spelled with a $B at RTN) Some truly outstanding talent

Cons

Defense based culture - lots of patriotism, rules and process Poor attention to tools and techniques - IT is particularly bad. Risk-adverse management skips or bungles the small but strategically important R&D programs. Always playing catch-up.

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!
