Pros

Work life balance 9/80 Fridays Unclassified work that can be done remotely must be done remotely during the pandemic

Cons

I've been at Raytheon for 2.5 years. I was forced to hire as a Software Engineer I even though I had 2 years of experience, and was told there would be opportunity for promotions. After those 2.5 years, I still have a salary almost exactly that of what I started with, and have not been promoted at all. I now have a total of 4 years experience and I am still a junior software engineer.

Pros

Stable Job with good co workers.

Cons

A lot of do nothing employees. 90% of work is performed by 20% of the people. Career growth is incredibly slow, and minor and does not reflect actual contribution but rather time in a role. Raises are 1-3% each year for everyone with 1 person from your section getting 4%. Zero correlation to what you actually do for the company. Management is very out of touch which results in End of year discussions that are pointless and just check a box. Often new hires will hire in making more than people who have 4-5 years experience.

Pros

- You get every other Friday off, unless you get handed something at the last minute - You get every federal holiday off - Most people in the company will try to help or educate you

Cons

- Accusatory and defaming language and bullying by supervisors - Lack of updated training materials or central company knowledge repository for new hires. COVID caught this company by surprise and exposed several deficient areas of their business continuity - Archaic and outdated IT systems and data repositories - Expected to perform almost all work in Excel, but given sub-standard laptops that frequently crash when you have 3+ Excel files open - Expectation to account for every 7 minute increment of your time on timecard - - this can and will be used by your supervisor as a means to micromanage and brow-beat for not meeting their expectations - Outside hires shouldn't take a position here if you're filling a role that a junior (but more experienced) team member wanted but didn't get promoted to. You're gonna have a bad time. - HR is very hands-off in most matters. There was no interaction with HR until I left the company and they wanted an exit interview. If they announced their presence to new hires during the first weeks aboard, they might have intervened when troubles first arise - Expect to work many more hours that what you will be allowed to put on your timecard. Expect to work unpaid weekends also. - Work/Life balance is not protected or enforced. You'll have to learn to stick up for yourself and not be walked all over - The last straw for me was when my boss criticized me for sending out emails at 4:00am instead of saving them for when everyone logged on in the morning. Zero concern was shown about how this was the third all-nighter I pulled that week to try and manage my workload. (these all-nighters definitely weren't allowed to show up on my timecard, the boss just wouldn't approve the timecard)
