Pros

- Decent salary. - Good benefits package, where it offers many choices for medical healthcare plans, and vision & dental are included. There's also a 401K plan. - Fair amount of PTO and paid holidays. - Younger crowd is fun and great to work with. - Large amount of diversity promotion and various events to make things more enjoyable at work.

Cons

- Too much pressure at work. Can be stressful most of the time. - Expectations from management are often times unreasonable. - Not much training for newer people. - Not much respect from senior employees toward younger ones. - Many unreasonable idiosyncrasies such as having to work overtime without getting overtime paid unless coming in on the weekends. - Working with outdated technology that are not useful anywhere else.

Pros

Really flexible working hours. Really professional engineers and managers. Laid back people and understandable. Tuition reimbursement for school (doing my masters).

Cons

As in every big defense company, it is hard to change things around. Have to get approved in order to work extra time.

Pros

Compensation is very good. Job security at Raytheon Missile Systems is also very good. Talent and hard work are acknowledged fairly through raises and promotions.

Cons

Some tools used by Raytheon are very old, which can be quite frustrating to have to work with 20+ year old equipment. Unnecessary process can get in the way of engineering.
