Pros

A lot of opportunity for entry level ppl or fresh out of college grads

Cons

Raytheon is very sneaky and cut throat. No consistency and don't follow standard accounting principles. Make up rules as they go and anything goes as long as a budget isn't blown

Three "G"s before you are Retired Out

Non-engineering staff

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

OK place to start an engineering career. Looks good on the resume. Steady paycheck and decent salary. 9/80 work week is wonderful.

Cons

Benefits declining rapidly with employees paying increased cost for what is left. OK for recent engineering grads or vets (revolving door well greased). Other disciplines need not apply. Defense industry is a specialty field. Moving to the larger commercial environment is challenging. Three "G's: Get in; Gain experience; Get out. Planning a long career at Raytheon requires an emergency fund for when they hire two replacement grads and you are "retired out" to the street.

Business Outlook

Pros

The people are very friendly and helpful. This was a great first job.

Cons

There is some of the "Good Old Boy" network still in play. Men are more likely to be promoted over women. As a woman, I had to prove myself. More recently, layoffs have made Raytheon in North Texas an undesirable place to work.
