Pros

Had the backing of Raytheon

Cons

Raytheon is moving further and further away from FP. The product does not support what the company is trying to claim they are "disrupting in the industry". Not the same company to when I started or even to 6 months ago. I used to walk in and get greetings and strike random conversation with employees. Not everyone walks around with a frown. I love the company, but I am afraid what the future holds

Pros

Only Compensations & Benefits are good

Cons

Not at all a good company to work with. Not Employee friendly. Lots of politics and job security is not there at all. No career growth.
