Pros

- Fairly stable and low pressure work environment. - Opportunities for young engineers to advance, as overall population ages. - More vacation days than most other jobs.

Cons

- Not much advanced tech--even the few ECs / IRADs are limited to IT integration. - People are too overwhelmed by everyday work to think long term, both technically and strategically. - As a result, it's hard to get people excited on new technologies or approaches. People fail to communicate. - Too much bureaucracy. - Executives seem unapproachable.

Pros

An abundance of state of the art engineering tools and information available for use. Access to in depth technical libraries and guidelines. An abundance of training is available and it is widely encouraged for individuals to partake in the many opportunities available each year.

Cons

There is a large abundance of bureaucracy at Raytheon. It is difficult to follow a strictly technical career path since project engineering skills (slide show skills) are more highly regarded than technical skills, in terms of career advancement. Work is departmentalized and partitioned by function encouraging "specialists".

Pros

Raytheon has the most professional people in the industry that I have had the opportunity to work with. People (employees) are treated with respect and customers are dealt with ethically and as partners. Mission success is really what we strive for.

Cons

It's still part of a huge corporation, there is some level of bureaucracy. On occassion it takes a long time to get some very simple things done.
