RTX reviews

-Raytheon was recently acquired by UTC and is transitioning away from being a technology leader. No longer a great place to have a career developing technology. Opportunities exist but will continue to diminish. - Benefits/compensation/engineering grades have recently been reduced to UTC's offerings and are not as strong as direct competitors - Staff turn over is very high (this is a recent post acquisition phenomena). The best engineering staff is finding better opportunity at technology companies. Morale is very poor. - Engineering career path progression has recently been greatly reduced and eliminated in many cases - Loss of experienced engineering talent is so high that junior level employees are having a hard time finding mentors to teach them.

1) Very cut throat environment. 2) Very corporate - you are literally just a number and the company makes that clear. 3) Socially I stagnated here, the people that rise to the top aren’t necessarily good people. They are by and large great engineers though, to be fair. 4) They encourage constant competition with your pay grade, for example if you’re an E1 they want you to compete with other E1s for E2 positions, E2’s should compete for E3 positions, and so on. The problem is that nothing ever seems to be good enough, and if you are doing really well for your grade you’ll get promoted (which is exciting when it happens), then once you settle into your new grade nothing again will ever be good enough. 5) For reason 4 I never really felt that I had secure employment at Raytheon, even though I worked there for 5 years.
