Pros

Nice work environment, good people, and surprisingly good lower/middle mgmt. in some areas. Its a nice place to work if you prefer to stay in the comfort zone and want a flexible 9-5 job.

Cons

Too much dead weight at top and bottom labor grades. Too many people at the middle experience level ( 5-10)leaving the company because of lack of opportunities. Also, the division has lost its technology focus and is slowly becoming an IT job shop.

Pros

Direct management (i.e. the folks I really work for) is excellent. Pay is competitive, and work/life balance is excellent. The flexible work schedule, when workload allows, is very beneficial. My experience has been that the company works hard to place employees between contracts.

Cons

It can be stressful when the project you're working on ends, depending on what new contracts are being awarded. Emphasis on Six Sigma is annoying. Benefits are not what they were when I first joined the company.

Pros

Raytheon offers very good benefits, such as part-time and flexible schedules. Can take up to a year leave of absence without pay and return to a job at same salary and seniority. They are working hard to promote diversity.

Cons

Managers are not necessarily trained to lead before they are given a leadership role. This means that they are not always good with people. There is a strong focus on corporate culture, which sometimes distracts from being effective at work. Also, we spend a lot of time training about safety considering that software engineers spend most of their day sitting at a desk.
