Pros

Great benefits for everyone. Coffee day once a month with a professional coffee cart, pie day, and other moral boosters are what I remember most...

Cons

the payscale was a bit lower than other companies, and the ability to get a payraise or promotion was a lot slower than it should have been.

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.

Pros

Defense based culture - lots of patriotism, rules and process Attention to people - good work/life balance, diversity, benefits and compensation Aggressive when going after big contracts (big is spelled with a $B at RTN) Some truly outstanding talent

Cons

Defense based culture - lots of patriotism, rules and process Poor attention to tools and techniques - IT is particularly bad. Risk-adverse management skips or bungles the small but strategically important R&D programs. Always playing catch-up.
