Pros

Flexible work schedule, 9/80 program, diversified culture. You can find people come to work for Raytheon from over the world.

Cons

Too political. You must socialize or have connection to survive rounds of layoff. Same thing when there's no much work to do, if you are your boss's buddy then chance you always have work to do.

Pros

Relatively easy to move around and work on different projects. Proactive behavior is generally rewarded. People are nice. Job is stable. Hours are normal.

Cons

Given size of company, politics is huge. Difficult to be agile and to make decisions since everything has to go through a process. Some engineers who have been with the company for a long time refuse to accept change.

Pros

Raytheon allows a great work-life balance, offers good vacation packages, and the work is very interesting and somewhat challenging at times.

Cons

Environment is a bit slower-paced, and compensation is a bit lower than industry averages. Workplace politics occasionally get in the way of progress. Work experience is often not very useful for outside industries.
