Pros

Good benefits package and reasonable pay

Cons

Understaffing and expectations to work long hours. As with any big company, there are a lot of politics involved in promotions and raises.

Pros

Relative stability of the workforce as a consewqunece of world unrest.

Cons

Unoriginal work, highly political environment, uncompetitive compensation, management structure rooted in WWII and Cols War cultures. From my own personal experience and observation, compensation is poor and the company has no real interest in solving the problems. While employees were showing gaps of as much as 25% against industry averages, employees were receiving 2-3% increases. In general, Raytheon remains rooted to the past and to a culture that was successful in the 1960s. What is worse is they have kept the least employee friendly policies while eliminating the most friendly.

Pros

One of the few places I've worked that gives you good career opportunities, nice benefits, flexible work hours without expecting you to work a 60 hour week. They give you time to get your work done and have a life outside of work. The time frames for assignments are longer which gives you time to do things right and to spend time on personal and professional development. Benefits that I haven't seen since the early 90s.

Cons

Raytheon is a large government contractor and as such has everything that goes along with that like a lot of management, and tedious processes. You can feel like a cog because you are so isolated from upper management and their decisions. They tell you what is going on and ask for your input but don't expect to change any minds.
