Pros

It's a job. Great benefits (at the time), the salary is one of the lowest that I have had. They are *supposed* to help with higher eduation, but they figured out an excuse not to help me. I eventually graduated from my program Summa Cum Laude, with another company helping me. I left Raytheon because they didn't. Your loss, Raytheon.

Cons

Raytheon management kept taking away automated remote tools that helped to do the work. They have no idea what Client Relationship Management (CRM) is, nor do they have any idea how to implement client services using one of the many frameworks available today (ISO 9001, ITIL, CMMI, CobIT). I hear that they are losing contracts these days.

Pros

Salary rate is better than east and west coasts for the same position. Comparable benefit package. Enjoyed 9/80 bi-weekly hours. Excellent workout facilities. Family members are welcome to join the gym.

Cons

It is a matrix management organization divided to functional and program organizations. However, functional division causes departments to become short-sighted and provincial, leading to incompatible work styles and poor communication. There is little communication between functional and program orgganizations. IF you are brought in to work with functional organization, you will be surprised in having difficulty to fined a long term assignment within the programs. There is always a fear of being laid off if you are not part of a program org. Functional managers have difficulty to keep their employee employed. The company is moving away from engineering inovation and diversification. The bulk of business is reduced to product maintenance and depot. There is little room for new design and development. Performance evaluations are full of harsh criticism. It is not a positive environment to work and build your career.

Pros

- benefits - pay is decent (including bonus) - work and life balance is great here - managers are more than willing to work with you - ability to travel

Cons

- The location is horrible, making for a terrible commute (unless you live right in Marlborough) - Promotions are generally given every 2 years; working harder than others doesn't guarantee a promotion - work is not exciting - management (especially in Marlborough), isn't competent.
