Pros

When the projects get going, they really go. It can be stressful because time management is really awful on projects but at least it's fast paced.

Cons

Often times the resources you need to work on a project have to come from other parts of the company who didn't want to give up that project in the first place. That can lead to people causing your project to intentionally fail for political reasons despite not even knowing you. It's also a shame because you'll never see them face to face or interact with them outside of email or phone calls. The union is a huge burden on someone who wants to get work done efficiently also, they will drag their feet and honestly nothing can be done about it. No one really wants to spend the time training new people coming in so they stick you in a cubicle, give you a thick book, and leave you there like an office plant.

Pros

No thought required, just react and point the first finger and you will go far. If you like charts and graphs and meaningless metrics to manipulate, then this is your calling.

Cons

Where to begin. The list is almost endless between the croniism and the purely reactionary work environment. Most upper level positions are recruited externally, often from personal relations, instead of developing from within. Leadership is non-existent, just management by individuals with little to no real world experience or ability. Employee morale is at it's lowest and management is not even aware -- that would require stepping out of one's office and actually getting involved. Or perhaps, since morale is not a metric, they do not care. This should be enough to paint the picture.

Pros

- Competitive salary - Annual bonus based on business unit performance - Salaried employees can get OT, but it is highly dependent on the function whether management will allow it or not.

Cons

In no specific order of importance: - Since the merger of Raytheon and UTC, the culture has changed dramatically for the worse. Leadership no longer prioritizes the warfighter. The company prioritizes DE&I, being woke, being green, and financial performance far before the warfighter. Raytheon builds technologies meant to defend the US and its Allies and destroy its enemies. It is deeply disturbing that the CEO of such a company would state that DE&I is his number one priority. I would think making sure that our products are the best they can be given that they determine life or death would be more important. I was wrong. The company culture since the merger has clearly gone hard woke left. Woke leftists will excel at RTX. Anyone else need not apply. - The company actively discriminates against white males much to its own detriment. - The company does not care about your rights under the law as an employee. RTX of course complied with the Biden vaccine mandate but did so in a horrendous way. Anyone who desired a religious exemption was asked probing questions which were the most egregious violation of the Civil Rights act I have seen in my lifetime. The company has posted that anyone applying for a position that requires a religious exemption must provide a letter from a faith leader. That is disgusting, illegal, and immoral. - The company recently changed the pay grades as a result of the merger. This has removed promotion paths for mid-level employees. The positions still exist with more work and responsibility, but the company expects employees to take them for no additional pay where before one could get a promotion. - Company reaction to COVID has been abysmal. Employees are treated like children. - Leadership is just out of touch with their employees in general.
