Pros

Only defense work available in Indianapolis. Regarding potential earnings, one would be better off working for one of the subcontractors that sub to RTSC Indianapolis: Northrop Grumman and SAIC.

Cons

1. No technical career path available 2. Promotions take years and pay scale flattens after 5 years 3. This environment can be frustrating for intrapreneurs - fast movers

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!
