Pros

Good start salary. Good benefits. Lots of vacation. Allowed to work 9/80 schedule. Easy to get time off, even at the last minute. Fantastic people to work with. They're very laid back, but hard working.

Cons

Very low raises. They bring you in promising one job and giving you another. Accept too much work than they're unable to staff, leading to everyone working lots of overtime. Very cheap, especially when it comes to travel. Managers are so overworked they don't have much time for reviews/give feedback. In fact, employees usually write their own year-end review, which management can modify.

Pros

Usually not stressful. Unlike other comercial companies (not in the defense sector) you won't find too many people working lots of overtime. Partly because nobody has the drive or the interesting projects that draw them in on the weekend. Mostly though, it is because Raytheon is like any other Government contractor (especially defense contractors) - there is little incentive because the more hours the project takes, the more we get to charge the government. The El Segundo location is a great location in the Southbay. Raytheon compensation seems pretty competitive.

Cons

Bureaucratic and slow about everything - means you learn and progress less. Secrecy is a part of almost every project and is a huge pain in the ass to deal with from an engineering perspective.
