Raytheon not a good place for technical people or hard workers.

Business Outlook

Pros

flexible work schedule Ability to switch projects at a moments notice, when the business is there.

Cons

20 managers to every 1 worker. Non value added people steal ideas all the time to pass as their own. It takes 10 times the budget to do a task because you have to feed management and there processes / gates that saturates budgets. Technical work or doing the right thing is never a priority. The only thing that is emphasized is management schedules, and forecasts. It’s amazing that this company stays competitive with all of the overhead and non value added people that are shoved on to programs to increase profit.

Pros

Good Benefits, PTO plan, Customer satisfaction practice have a higher-than-average customer loyalty

Cons

have lower-than-average employee loyalty old boy network no mentor no role model address the promotion and retention feel powerless to make complaints internally and therefore feel the need to seek outside counsel. HR cannot be trusted. Mid level management is very poor very poor recruitment practices for technical jobs Equal access to promotions with legitimate business reasons, such as tenure, experience or skills? Workforce environment is grapevine (rumor controlled)

Business Outlook

Pros

- The benefits are terrific - Corporate management is with it, and is trying to modernize (socially, procedurally) the company (see cons)

Cons

- Middle management is entrenched in the 1950's (processes, values, expectations) and is stifling change - "Be creative" communications that start positive at the top corporate levels are changed to "obey" instructions by the time they percolate down through management layers
