Pros

It's a job. Great benefits (at the time), the salary is one of the lowest that I have had. They are *supposed* to help with higher eduation, but they figured out an excuse not to help me. I eventually graduated from my program Summa Cum Laude, with another company helping me. I left Raytheon because they didn't. Your loss, Raytheon.

Cons

Raytheon management kept taking away automated remote tools that helped to do the work. They have no idea what Client Relationship Management (CRM) is, nor do they have any idea how to implement client services using one of the many frameworks available today (ISO 9001, ITIL, CMMI, CobIT). I hear that they are losing contracts these days.

Pros

All the pros of a big company. Benefits. Salaray. Corporate discounts. There are lots of different employee groups that you can be a part of.

Cons

Red tape like you would not believe. I guess that is what happens when you are a government contractor. Paperwork out the wazoo.
