Pros

There are many opportunities across various functions and product lines. Raytheon being a part of many different adjacent markets allows exposure to many industries.

I was lied to about crucial career decisions and opportunities several times during my time at RTSC Indy. Leadership there will tell you anything to get you on board, but once you are there it is a different story - must be the bait and switch capital of the corporation. I kept expecting to bump into The Smoking Man at any moment and have him remind me to "trust no one..."
