RTX reviews

- Morals and ethics is biggest problem as upper level project management is like working with "Enron" supervision. The brass (i.e., supervision) wants the cash. - As contracts end they lay-off the technical brains and experts but keep their ex-military officers who “in the past” won the contracts. They rarely still have have friends in the government after the length of waterfall contract contracts to win them more. - As proposals are prepared many extra management positions are added to the proposal for no solid reason. - Many supervisors simply were never trained to communicate with their staffing to have everyone work as a “team” and listen to other ideas and suggestion from all levels. The “feet-on-the-desk” managers are difficult to communicate with as all issue/decision conclusions go their way or no way. - Advancement/promotions for those without brass military experience are rare. The “Stereotyping Company” is Raytheon’s nickname. Many lower level ex-military personnel rarely receive promotions also. - Commonly, if a lower level employee has a great new design or methodology the supervision or management will take the idea and lay them off the fellow. They want to make sure no “one is better then me”.

Promotions are at a complete standstill in certain areas & departments, geographical splits of departments means favoritism of home offices, inability to predict future work beyond six month window leads to large work shortages, fears of layoffs, targeted firings, targeted layoffs, good old boy network of senior program managers, sexist behavior towards women managers & leadership, cronyism is evident amongst departments, hero-shithead rollercoaster means you never know how your year is going to turn out, performance reviews focus on wrong objectives, section heads/line management pay too much attention to program managers & not engineers, security clearances take forever to get, secret, top secret, etc., line management hold grudges & engage in multi-year vendettas during annual performance reviews, rankings, & salary raises.
