Pros

Biggest Pro: Cross functionality mixed with upward mobility makes long term career promising! Great experience for new college hire, huge name growing company, strong interraction with a variety of types of people and functions/departments, work/life balance, potential career growth seems promising, supportive people/environment, constantly learning new things

Cons

Biggest con: Experienced analysts are overwhelmed with too much to handle and new hires aren't given the needed attention/training to feel valuable. Other cons: Location, very steep learning curve and minimal training, MUST be able to figure things out for yourself, emphasis is placed on work/life balance but (practically) it doesn't always happen (e.g. 9/80 schedule, mod time, etc.), huge age gap (90%+ are baby boomer generation) and few new hires make it difficult to relate/learn, have left for the day feeling down/bad about myself on multiple occassions

Pros

technical advancement,learning on the job is basicaly allowed and supported by the management , however it does not go further then that Some of the benefites are very good and employees have some flexibility to choose. good 9/80 program is in place and it works for me and my family.

Cons

Management including the mid level as well. Only the good thing I like to say is that Field supervisors have the ability and are technically inclined to assist and support effectivley the personell who are being deployed, including myselfe for a long period of time in the Antarctic region and Southern ocean.

Pros

Raytheon SAS produces a products that are generally insulated from the cycles of general economy, so having a job at Raytheon during a recession is preferable for the job security. Applications for top secret security clearances are filed for almost all engineers, and having a security clearance makes one more marketable, at least if one wants to work in the defense industry. Also, being in the defense industry means that work will not be outsourced. The pay, benefits, flexible work hours, and understanding culture makes a Raytheon job perfect for someone who has a family to support. The work environment is generally respectful of individuals and civil. Engineers who are female, live with a disability, or are considered a member of a minority group are given substantial opportunities for advancement in middle management.

Cons

Since job security is so good at Raytheon, risk-averse people tend to populate the ranks of Raytheon's employees. This means a fairly conservative stance toward the exploration of new technologies, adoption of new processes, and promotion of new and young employees. The ranks of middle management tend to fill with process-minded people who value regiment to a fault. Creative, big-idea types don't tend to find themselves in position to make decisions. Underqualified people also tend to hang around longer than they should, which means qualified employees tend to pick up the slack. Respect towards people is excellent, at least when it comes to personal interactions. However, the bureaucratic nature of the company tends to make employees feel unempowered, ignored, and unappreciated.
