Pros

Great growth expected in the next few years. Fresher management is great for promoting new ideas, but redevelopment and reorganization of the engineers caused a lot of confusion on new job responsibilities. Benefits are great, salary is high especially for the area, and above all you contribute to the success of our products and safety to our troops.

Cons

Sometimes it is too big to get the right answers. As a new hire, this is especially frustrating, with no "product directory" to know who to call when you need an answer about a particular product line. Depending on your manager, sometimes the desire to move around is looked down upon. My manager strongly encouraged rotating in both design and manufacturing before settling into one area, but another manager was harsh when a coworker wanted to move areas after 18 months.

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!
