RTX reviews

They kind of throw new people into the deep end. Didn't receive too much training early on and just got put directly on projects. Feel like I should be shadowing or working directly with someone who's been there for a while. While some parts of this were good (sink or swim, you learn how to do stuff quick), it is very intimidating for a new hire fresh out of college. Also, my management and "mentor/ambassador" have not really engaged me in any way. I'm always having to go find them rather than them coming by my work area and asking how I'm doing and if I'm having any trouble with anything.

The company has turned into a bureaucratic nightmare that doesn't invest in its employees. Training only consists of useless "required" training and you're expected to do it on your own time. Policies have replaced employee decision authority and common sense. Career success seems very binary at the company -- either you really "make it" or you're part of the regular pool that gets 2-3% every year. The company doesn't seem to have a strategy to retain its top talent. They don't seem to recognize that the market is hot and you have to pay people to keep them. HR tries to substitute BS incentives for actual compensation - people see through that and move on. Finally, there's the dreaded Raytheon laptop. Good luck getting any work done on the company asset that's provided for this purpose because of all the spyware they install on the machines to monitor their employees.
