Pros

Great place to begin or end your career. There are lots of learning opportunities at a more relaxed pace, much more manageable than commercial or industrial. The 9/80 work schedule provides excellent opportunities to make the most of your vacation time. Good work-life balance. There are many smart people working there. It is highly advisable to learn as much as possible from the senior employees. Raytheon experience combined with a security clearance looks great on your resume. It is a great place to gain fundamental experience and then move out to move up. Or, it is a great place to come toward end-of-career and enjoy a steady work environment.

Cons

Process driven culture tends to hinder innovation. Following a checklist trumps engineering reason. Engineering judgement is largely stripped of designers. Internal recognition/promotion is severely lacking. Zero training budget. It's very common to hear -- 'it is what it is' when the above things are challenged.

Pros

Benefits are decent. After 15 years of service, the company grants you 5 weeks of Paid Time Off. You can't get that anywhere.

Cons

Bad managers are hard to rid. Face it. Working for someone that you don't trust just doesn't work. A manager that is a bully is even worse. Even if 20 people have the same issue with the same person, it is hard to create a case to make a difference. HR has built of culture of do nothing. Employees that have approached HR to open a case create a lot of overhead and at the end, no change has occurred, no improvement in place and just a lot of awkwardness for the future. Employees have been taught that it's better to "do nothing" thereby creating a cycle of doom and gloom.

Pros

Some really interesting and challenging research and development. Many different areas of defense to work in. Lots of projects... Fascinating work.

Cons

Extremely clickish, constant fear of being replaced by someone for less money. Company hires recent undergraduates to replace senior personnel. The Recent hires do not have the experience to replace senior personnel so they find themselves in an impossible position. Politics over what is best for the company. Sexism and racism are part of the atmosphere of the work environment.... That includes management. Work hours are extreme. To make deadlines usually takes 50-90 hrs a week.
