Pros

1) Relaxed environment 2) Work hour flexibility

Cons

1) Poor management and bureacracy 2) Bad culture - endorses slackers rather than the hard working 3) Slow career growth - If you want your career to be on the fast-track, then I don't recommend this company 4) outdated technology 5) Convoluted requirements - Please make sure you have the requirements down and pat before issuing work to the engineers. I found myself spending half my time trying to find someone who actually understands the requirements, and the other half of my time working. 6) Don't really care about employees - they will ignore all the good work you've done, and focus exclusively on the mistakes you've made.

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!
