Pros

Good name on resume. Good engineering company.

Cons

Too big, employees are overlooked a lot of times. Most raises (85%) are only 2.5-3.0%. It would take years to keep up with the industry your salary. After a while, you become the "working poor" if you hang out at the company too long. The career model requires you to "relocate" quite often to keep pace in your career knowledge and salary. Make certain you get a job promotion with every re-location effort. Don't establish any roots at any location. When you want to establish roots somewhere, change companies.

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!
