Raytheon Pays the Bills

Pros

Raytheon is a good paying job with some good benefits. If you have limited or no desire to enjoy your job and willing to put up with micromanagement, grinding rigidity, and a soul robbing environment you can go home with a really nice paycheck. When the programs are making money you may get some Shining Star cash to spend, or they may even buy you lunch. If you can put aside a personal or family life and willing to work a lot of hours Raytheon is a good way to get a lot of experience and possibly get yourself out of debt or put aside a nice size 401K.

Cons

Be prepared to be put down, often. Extreme rigidity with almost no creativity. If you are hourly there is absolutely no flex time. There is a strong anti-labor and anti-union bias in management. There is a Six Sigma just in time "lean" mentality with almost no inventory or allowance for attrition. The attitude seems to be a plan to fail and then find a scapegoat. They don't train new people to make up for attrition, illness, and retirement, and then somehow the people that are left will make up the difference. If you work like a maniac you can be sure they will pile on more work for you to do. They will work you like a dog to meet a deadline, knowing that in back of the deadline there is little or no work. Feast or famine. My advice to fellow employees, hang in there and make as much $$$ as you can. Don't quit! Make the work for you not against you.

Pros

Good work force and interesting products and processes. Great place to learn about manufacturing and assembly.

Cons

Organization has lost sight of the entrepreneurial spirit that made in successful. The bureaucratic processes being put in place to address risk have slowed BD to a crawl.
