Pros

They hire engineers, pay for graduate school, and some of the projects are interesting. Work life balance is good.

Cons

Compensation: It varies wildly based on your "business." Employees in one business get more time off, profit sharing, and bonuses while others get nothing. Promotions: If you are a new hire get ready to wait two years before your first promotion because regardless of how good you are at your job you wont get promoted before that. Get ready to see the guy sleeping in his cubicle, literally, get promoted at the same rate as you.

Pros

My immediate management was generous with letting me run the dept as long as I got things done and my efforts were value added.

Cons

I was hoping to retire from Raytheon but upper management did not look at the ramifications of laying me off. Many program managers I supported were confused why I was let go. If a manager is changed there is no means to communicate to a new manager how well employees are doing and all the rapport built up over the years is lost and you are just a number.

Business Outlook

Pros

It is a fortune 500 company that has some very intelligent and innovative talent. CEO has tried to position company to weather the down turn in defense contracting business, with some success.

Cons

Very hierarchical in management access. Demands from leadership flow downstream; many data drills that may be of little benefit. Many layers of management, frequent reorganizations. There are a lot of challenges working between businesses and really "Teaming" within the company to work together for the success of programs. Very little security as an employee at the company - contrary to the company philosophy of the employees being their greatest asset.
