Pros

* Great life/work balance * Flexible hours (many managers are sensitive to commutes/child care issues) * Interesting work * Fair compensation * Relatively low stress * 9/80 work week (businesses) or summer hours (corporate) * Resources (on-site dry cleaning/banking/health services/cafeteria) * Many nice people

Cons

* Can be cliquey - much like high school * Some paranoid people - lack of trust for no reason * Senior management is not approachable/visible * Some people are stuck in their ways * Change is difficult - often have to do things the "Raytheon way", just because * Poor communication between managers and employees * Lack of transparency * No formal telecommuting policy * Hypocrisy - huge emphasis is placed on respect, yet many people don't even acknowledge co-workers in the hall * Many levels makes it difficult to complete projects * Difficult to get promoted/move into new roles. You are losing talented people.

Pros

Even though its the fair haired step child, it's still part of Raytheon, and there are opportunities to jump ship. If you're content with a stagnant career and just want to wind out the clock, management will not push you to do more. Schedules are hectic, but the flex schedule permits some extra time off without burning PTO. Aging workforce makes it easy for a go-getter to stand out.

Cons

RTSC-Indy gets two fewer holidays than RTSC. RTSC is not Raytheon proper, so there is no profit sharing and wages are lower than the rest of the company. The engineering group in Indianapolis is huge, so be prepared to be treated as a number. Also, senior management doesn't want people who take on more responsibility and then ask for promotions. Process for promotions is based more on politics and favorites than the corporate classification guide or good work. You'll be told about mythical things like achievement awards, but they never happen.
