Pros

- Fairly stable and low pressure work environment. - Opportunities for young engineers to advance, as overall population ages. - More vacation days than most other jobs.

Cons

- Not much advanced tech--even the few ECs / IRADs are limited to IT integration. - People are too overwhelmed by everyday work to think long term, both technically and strategically. - As a result, it's hard to get people excited on new technologies or approaches. People fail to communicate. - Too much bureaucracy. - Executives seem unapproachable.

Pros

Overall, the work environment is great. There's definitely a relaxed atmosphere which is conducive to work.

Cons

Lack of pay, constant government. Poor communication constantly hinders getting any real work done. Raytheon is constantly a subcontractor to other defense organizations. Because of this, communication between the prime and Raytheon is lacking at best. Oftentimes what is asked of employees is very vague because even the managers are not sure which direction the project should be moving in.
