Pros

As a professional with substantial military and military-related experience, I took a job with Raytheon because they owned the particular billet I was interested in. Raytheon has a lot of military-related positions as a large defense contractor.

Cons

I have my two-week notice and ended my last job on the 19th of the month based on Raytheon's promise to have me start on the 20th. Due to incompetence, unnecessary single points of failure, and lack of concern, I did not start until the 23rd and lost approximately 40% of pay for a pay period. That was just onboarding. Since then Raytheon has treated the employees on this contract poorly including reducing senior employees pay to lower than that of newer employees and mishandling what ended up being an unnecessary furlough. Promises to compensate said mishandling where never followed up on.

Pros

The salary is very good as are the benefits. When given the opportunity to grow and develop as an employee, the options are there, but only to a point. Very smart workforce, at least in Engineering, but most of the support areas there is a lot of nepotism, EEO promotions, and good old boy networks.

Cons

The management is out of touch. They don't relate to the work force, as many of them are only looking out for themselves or are very frightened when people under them do well, or are better respected then they are. HR is useless. They try to get you to work for Raytheon then abandon you as an employee. Many long term employees get laid off or fired for little or no reason. The Peter Principle is alive and well at Raytheon!

Pros

The 401K and benefits packages are decent in the current economy. Depending on the program that you support you might get to work on some pretty cool systems.

Cons

Benefits in general are mediocre. Promotions and pay increases are very hard to come by unless you "in the club" of your respective management. They tout a work/life balance but truly only offer it to their select group of employees, leaving the rest to pickup all the slack. If you are not in the select group and you take your 9/80 day off, expect to hear from your anger about how you are not meeting expectations or being a team player. Though Raytheon touts itself as a Veteran friendly employer, THEY ARE MOST CERTAINLY NOT. They will permit you to establish work social groups based on ethnicity, race or orientation but NOT for your status as a Veteran. They like to have veterans in house so they can boost their demographics for hiring, but their management treats the veterans as if they are damaged goods. Management has the mentality of middle schoolers and if you raise an issue to upper management or even HR, it just gets swept under the rug and you are retaliated against.
