For 2010, Raytheon was most likely put in the same position as many other companies and thought it necessary to cut costs with medical insurance. As a warning to anyone considering a job or career with Raytheon, you had better be perfectly healthy. Raytheon won't consider your health issues during the hiring process, but you should. The medical choices and coverage will not support even minor medical therapies. You can expect to spend several hours on the phone after every appointment and prescription refill request with the insurance company, your doctors, and your pharmacists trying to negotiate a deal for comprosied care wthin the bounds of the insurance plans.
Also, men and women are not treated equally. Hard-nosed men are rewarded and exalted. Stong women are told to "not be so demanding"
