Business Outlook

Pros

Raytheon prides itself on technical and engineering excellence. It doesn't build the defense platforms that most would recognize, instead Raytheon build the insides of most advanced systems in the world. It is a company that challenges its employees for excellence. Very rewarding.

Cons

HR system is archaic and there seems to be a large generational gap between the senior management and the average employee.
