Pros

Work at Raytheon tends to be good for long term consistent employment. If you can get on one of the (many) long term contracts, it is quite possibly to just grind away for 30 years.

Cons

We are in the low period of the sin wave that is company compensation periods. Probably in the next couple years it will start ticking up again.

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!
