Pros

Government contractor, large company, relocation opportunities. Raytheon offers a wide variety of jobs and fields. Pay raises for time spent with the company, determined by the government.

Cons

Terrible HR department. They are impossible to get a hold of and will never call you back. Company is so large that it is managed from thousands of miles away. Took MONTHS to go through the hiring process

Pros

The general population in the engineering department is nearing retirement. While there are still some talented employees, a motivated new person hire can run circles around them. The general short-term nature of projects in comparison to other Raytheon business units allows engineers to see the entire process quickly - making advancement and growth easier to obtain than other business units. Management is very responsive to employees who do good work and are looking to grow. The relative size of most programs makes it easy to stand out.

Cons

RTSC does not get the same benefits (profit sharing, holidays) as the rest of Raytheon. Training budgets are smaller, so employees looking to grow need to do some work on their own time. Pay at RTSC is less than similar positions at other Raytheon Business Units. RTSC's low cost structure results in a relatively flat management structure, making this a difficult place to bridge from engineer to manager. Product development spending is light, which makes it easy to shine if you do work on your own, however, this is not the place to work if you are a research oriented engineer.
