      Raytheon... it could be worse.

      Pros

      There are lots of various projects at SAS, so in theory you have a good chance of getting on something you will enjoy. That's not always true though. You can get stuck on programs for a long time. My management has been very flexible with the hours and the days that I work. I really, really like that. My immediate managers (function, program, etc.) are all pretty decent people and respectful of their employees. The pay is pretty good too. I got a pretty big jump when I left my old aerospace company to join Raytheon a few years ago.

      Cons

      Like I mentioned as an aside in the "best reasons" you can get stuck on a program for a long time. But, if you are proactive and find something you want to work on, management is pretty good about helping you transition into new jobs. I think that the functional organizations are a mess too. I'm in a section that just had a bunch of leftovers thrown into it that they couldn't find another group for. I'm the only one of my particular specialty in the group, so I don't have any more senior people to go to for help with my job.

      Raytheon strives to be the best average defense company.

      Pros

      Raytheon is an ok defense company to work at our of college. It will not overtly challenge new hires. It is very hard to be fired once you are hired. There are some very bright people at Raytheon and if you can work with them on a non-production program then it can be quite interesting and rewarding.

      Cons

      There are too many levels of management. Each level is intent on protecting their corner of the company. Engineers are not supported in continuing education or innovative research by management. I believe Raytheon purposely low-balls salaries for new hires (and seeks those who do not know their worth). In addition the merit and salary review process is engineered to minimize any chance of a substantial raise or promotion. Like most defense companies with a matrix organization the inefficiencies are tremendous -- it is impossible for a program manager to reward an engineer since they have no control on salary or pay grade. Finally, 6 sigma is a joke.
