Pros

Lots of overtime if you like working it. (I do)

Cons

1). Get what you want coming in the door, you will not receive good raises. 2). Receiving exceeds on your yearly review may just mean a level (step) increase but no actual $$ increase. 3). Been with the company 10 years now and it surprises me that it is still in business. From mine and others I work with aspect, there is an inverted pyramid pointing down on us. Company is too top heavy, could capsize at anytime. 4) Received exceeds for several years in a row, average pay increase for the past 10 years is approx. 1.7% - 2.1%. Come to find out whether you do a great job or a mediocre one, increases are the same.

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!
