Pros

Not many people in my area get laid off. There is interesting technical work. I work with a pleasant group of people. I have the opportunity to interface directly with my government customer.

Cons

Typical politics, especially if you want to rise. Since Raytheon took over, I've seen a lot of program managers get pushed aside if they don't pass muster. There's definitely a ceiling beyond which you must have strong political skills to rise above.

Pros

Had opportunity to do a lot of travel (as all the other experienced engineers did not have a desire to be away from family) Starting compensation was a lot higher than many other offers I received at the time. Everyone was pleasant to work with.

Cons

As an entry level, one can be easily stuck doing busy intern work...not a diverse work culture, mostly middle aged and old employees, more difficult for a young engineer to fit in immediately and have respect.

Pros

Raytheon provides its employees with some of the best benefits available. Medical, dental, vision, and extremely flexible work hours. They encourage a work-life balance. Upward mobility is possible if you diligently seek it out.

Cons

Management and Engineering are both entrenched in the bog of being a defense contractor. Management has way too many layers, each one being exclusive of the other. Communication is poor, despite there being a record number of processes in place. Processes are partly to blame, culture is partly to blame.
