Pros

Most of the coworkers are great. The benefits and vacation time are pretty good. Very flexible schedule arrangements. Some of the defense projects are really interesting.

Cons

Management doesn't seem nearly involved enough with daily operations (including direct managers). Nobody seems to care about career advancement. Timekeeping and other corporate policies are burdensome.

Pros

People are generally nice. The company tries very hard to keep employees around even during the downturns in the defense and government markets.

Cons

Low salaries, little room for advancement, highly political. Incredibly risk adverse limiting anything that might resemble innovation. Process and bureaucracy are the focus of 90% of every effort, making even the most simple things complicated, time consuming and expensive. Engineering approaches and tooling are decades old. Software is treated as a second class discipline to other engineering disciplines, despite the preponderance of software in all Raytheon systems. This is the epitome of an old-school, stone-age company relying on outdated methodologies and political connections rather than evolving with the ever-changing and fast paced world of engineering. Employees are viewed and managed as cogs 0 treated as interchangeable metrics with little regard to their individual skills and expertise.
