RTX Software Engineer reviews

In my department, it seems management are too busy to deal with new hires' problems. Unlike other aerospace companies, they don't give you anything to do (constructive or not) while waiting on security clearances. Which can take weeks to months. Other companies will usually find tasks that don't require clearance. Not as social an enviornment as I was expecting. Medium to low morale all around. As with any aerospace company, you are expected to work maybe 50-60 hrs/wk. Pay lower than I expected for aerospace industry.

In terms of web technologies, they are constantly playing catch-up. Web technologies are not pushed by management and are basically left to developers to decide what new technologies are worth implementing, and even then, it has to be compatible with their archaic infrastructure. Pay raises are dependent on how well you can sell yourself and what you've been doing all year; basically it is a huge BS fest and whoever can BS the best wins! You will likely get a raise every year, but the average raise is 3%, which will likely not cover the annual cost of living increase. Even though the company is filled with amazing talented developers, it is also filled with some pretty bone-headed, uninformed managers who are stuck in an old way of doing things. Depending on where you work or what project you're on, they can be a bit stingy when it comes to getting you the equipment you need to do your job.
