Pros

-NOTE: This review is for Raytheon Missile Systems in Tucson, AZ -Decent pay (for Tucson) -Opportunities for continued education through the U of A or any graduate school that has distance learning program. Other on-site educational programs. -Great work-life balance. 9/80 work week = 26 Off Friday's per year. Federal holidays on Monday's occasionally create 4 day weekends without any PTO. Paid vacation from Christmas through New Years.

Cons

-Salary compression -Bureaucracy. Processes and procedures get in the way of progress. -Politics - sometimes even within the Engineering department. Occasional conflicts between program and functional management. -Not a lot of diversity in work content. There are specialists for every technical discipline and managers are sometimes territorial. -Experience and ability isn't always the top consideration for new hires.

Pros

Raytheon IIS in Garland has a reputation of having the best engineers when compared to other defense contractors and commercial companies. Most of the engineers and program mangement staff are very pleasant people to work with. Engineers are often paid overtime on programs. The work is sometimes very technically challenging. Many employees are very ethical. The health care benefit is very good. The retirement benefit for the legacy E-Systems employees is excellent, which causes mid-career and older employees to be tied down to Raytheon.

Cons

First line supervisors and managers are extremely poor at their job. Performance reviews may be performed by a supervisor/manager which the employee has had little to no contact. It is very difficult to get a promotion. Many engineers, in order to maintain their lock on job/domain knowledge, will not share any information. Engineers are responsible for networking to find their next assignment. There is almost no technical training budget for employees. The company allows family members to be in the same organizational chain of command.
