Pros

Good benefits, and perks. 401k match from the start! Put your 40 hours in and you get 3% yearly bump

Cons

You are only good for that current effort you are working. Slim chance you be able to find another Raytheon effort after your current contract expires.

Pros

-flexible 9-80 schedule. Christmas to new year closure. a lot of good little benefits, rec center, education reimbursement. -there are some hardcore headcases, but you generally won't butt heads with them. unless you also strive to be one. -the average employee is generally friendly and laidback. throw a rock and you'll hit a jovial, knowledgeable, pudgy conservative dad in a Hawaiian shirt counting days to retirement. -if you are really ambitious and don't care about your personal life there is some room for you. if you want to coast and never work over 40 a week, there is room for you. if you are somewhere in between, its a bit dicier. There are many many many programs and departments, each of which is a fiefdom in itself. The higher profile "great for your career" type projects tend to be the draining ones with angrier people.

Cons

-advancement and training for young engineers. basically hope you are put in a good program where you can learn. there are no serious programs in place if you aren't marked as a high performer early on. -No real career paths. Just a bunch of pep talks and a powerpoint and few half-assed meetings. Basically latch onto a midlevel manager and get directed around. -training is terrible, a series of webmodules. -Upper Management has in recent years distanced themselves even further from the common employee
