Pros

Usually not stressful. Unlike other comercial companies (not in the defense sector) you won't find too many people working lots of overtime. Partly because nobody has the drive or the interesting projects that draw them in on the weekend. Mostly though, it is because Raytheon is like any other Government contractor (especially defense contractors) - there is little incentive because the more hours the project takes, the more we get to charge the government. The El Segundo location is a great location in the Southbay. Raytheon compensation seems pretty competitive.

Cons

Bureaucratic and slow about everything - means you learn and progress less. Secrecy is a part of almost every project and is a huge pain in the ass to deal with from an engineering perspective.

Pros

The upper management paints an inspirational picture of the company's purpose and direction. Furthermore, there's the constant reminder that the products we work to design and produce are actively being used by our soldiers in the Middle East. The benefits are very complete, with 4% 401k matching, many medical, dental, and insurance options, as well as a decent vision plan. Also, Raytheon is well respected in Tucson, leading many businesses to provide discounts to employees. Depending on personal situations, the company supports 9/80 work weeks, but also allows 5/40 and 4/10s, with flexible working hours. The rule of thumb is 9am-3pm are the "required" hours, with the exception of lunch of course.

Cons

Middle management is inefficient and hamstrung by the realities of their position. They are given far too little time/budget to attend to their employees, which leads to management issues taking too long to resolve and a lack of useful feedback on job performance. Training seems forced, with very little bearing on day to day activities.
