Pros

Pay and benefits if you are on the legacy Raytheon side (not UTC). Team and customers can be amazing to work and partner with. Remote work options Work pre merger was rewarding, fulfilling and challenging

Cons

Poor leadership and lack of direction from UTC pushing out all the Raytheon team, leaders and managers with proven performance success. Lack of system connection across the company - UTC team cant access RTN and vice versa but they are laying off all the RTN staff that access and manage those systems. Sr leadership lacks of understanding of the roles and responsibilities within their own organizational teams resulting in cross functional layoffs based on numbers only (in favor of UTC) and not the impact to the company, and the teams.

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!
