Pros

The working level of people at Raytheon Missile Systems is great.

Cons

The leadership of Raytheon Missile Systems from the CEO through all 30+ vice presidents and assistant vice presidents operates out of a sense of entitlement. They are entitled to their extravagant parties, entitled to fly first class, entitled to free lunch and entitled to a bunch of people around them who never tell them they are doing anything wrong because if you do, there will be retaliation. They are bad business men who allow senior program managers and leaders to run amuck with New Business Investment funds, spending mostly on travel with no resulting new business and no consequence. They have way too many people and could be producing better profits or better growth for the company by slashing the head count and trimming the non-productive. Then they would not have that crowd around them telling them how brilliant they all are.

Pros

Uhh..they DO pay you..but not enough for the horrid treatment. Sure, get recruited straight out of school, lots of perks...if you can't find anything else. IMHO, do NOT plan on staying more than 2 years...use it as a start, but have a move-on plan, or I guarantee you will regret it.

Cons

Management..stupid arrogant mindless management following a quagmire of rules they barely understand and rarely agree with, and that seem to change every hour. Leadership...well, there IS no leadership...only mindless management robots administering management that they do not fully understand and are completely unable to communicate to the workforce.

Pros

Good salary. Lots of fun projects.

Cons

The company's personal development review process is completely subjective and in no way designed to forward or help your career, it serves one purpose, to allow the company to prevent personal development. This scheme is linked to salary increase. The company has a very poor expenses system designed to prevent you claiming back your money and they make you take off personal mileage for business trips from your home, against advice from HMRC. All of the company's buildings and offices are old and outdated expect only a small desk and an old worn out chair well away from a window. New grads are treated like cheap labour, up until this year the 'development program' did not really exist. Too many levels of management, it makes it very hard to achieve anything, there standard office PC and laptops still use WindowsXP - lol.
