Business Outlook

Pros

Large company, lots of places to move around.

Cons

Managers have no clue what they are doing. Upper management doesnt know who anyone is. Lots of grand plans, no plan for execution. You are a cog in the machine. There is no loyalty to employees.

Raytheon IIS - Aurora Campus

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The paychecks clear on time.

Cons

Raytheon IIS has consistently gone downhill in my 10+ years with them, particularly since Lynn Dugal has taken the helm of the business unit. Programs are bid to win the contract, not to appropriately execute the contract. This requires the individual contributor to work an exorbant amount of "casual", or unpaid, overtime. A typical work week on the program I support is ~60 hours and weekend work is sometimes announced on Friday afternoon, as it was this last Easter weekend. Recently the profit sharing plan (a 3% bonus each year) was eliminated. When questioned about how she intended to retain quality personell, Ms. Dugal basically stated the "door is over there"... the top performers are taking her up on that.

Great work, but ruined by entrenched bureaucrats

Hardware engineer iii

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Diverse projects. Every assignment was a little different. Fullerton office mechanical staff got to wear many hats. Lots of opportunities for travel to customers and suppliers, especially for Foreign Sales projects. Great work-life balance. Very flexible with hours. Pretty good cafeteria food too.

Cons

Horrible, dated document control practices enforced by entrenched bureaucrats as a means to keep their jobs. Lots of office politics. Senior faculty who did not report to anyone and often refused to cooperate with project teams
