Pros

It takes forever to get hired there because of security concerns, etc. but when you get hired you have a job for life (if you want it). Benefits are good - they still offer a real pension plan (how unusual!). They provide wonderful products to keep our country and servicemen and women safe. It makes you proud to be doing your part for America.

Cons

Executive management (for the most part) has HUGE egos, which I guess is common for most executives. They like to take credit for other people's work and when their employees do the work they requested - and it wasn't what their superiors wanted or negative feedback is received - they're real quick to pass the buck and do whatever they have to do to CYA

Good, but plenty of drawbacks. A good place to jump through on your way to a better place.

Business Outlook

Pros

Good start salary. Good benefits. Lots of vacation. Allowed to work 9/80 schedule. Easy to get time off, even at the last minute. Fantastic people to work with. They're very laid back, but hard working.

Cons

Very low raises. They bring you in promising one job and giving you another. Accept too much work than they're unable to staff, leading to everyone working lots of overtime. Very cheap, especially when it comes to travel. Managers are so overworked they don't have much time for reviews/give feedback. In fact, employees usually write their own year-end review, which management can modify.

Strong buddy system ingrained at Raytheon is hurting company morale and advancement

Pros

Some colleagues. The fact that the customer is counting on the company's products and services for surviveability.

Cons

Too much bureaucracy. A strong buddy system ingrained who promotes based on friendship and what have done for me lately as opposed to for the company.
