Pros

Starting salary is competitive with other aerospace companies.

Cons

Employees who start their careers with Raytheon and look to stay for the long haul will quickly realize how underpaid they will be relative to counterparts who have moved between companies. In addition as is my case I have also noticed that new employees who are just coming out of school are making close to what I'm making with 5+years of experience. Which doesn't make sense being that I received great performance ratings my first 3 years at the company. Followed by average ratings the following 3 years. In short brand new employees are valued more that employees who've been around for a while with Raytheon or uncle Ray as us Raytheon employees call the company.
