RTX reviews

- Asked about core hours (9am-3pm), flexibility of setting my own hours and the ability to telecommute during the interview. Answers from management made this place seem like it was the most relaxed office in the world. - A month into my role I was asked to match the hours of the finance team (10am-7pm, sometimes 8-9pm). - Had to take a week off for family matters and pto request was not getting approved. Offered to telecommute and left the office, only to have senior finance mgr IM me and tell me to get offline on the second day of my OOO ("who said you can work remote? You need to get offline right now"). - Basically everything they told me during the interview was a lie. Anyone with other company experience will not enjoy working here. PM's talk to you like you're servants. Managers yell at you. People call you out in meetings in front of 5 other departments. You're told to not ask questions. When you seek help everyone is busy. No one is truly competent or sharp. The only ones who didn't seem to mind the rude culture were people who started their careers with internships at Raytheon and just climbed the corporate ladder. You will probably move up fast tho if you stick it out because turnover is high, but I've seen people get demoted for no reason with no HR involvement. If you come from a healthy working environment look elsewhere. Even HR is unhelpful.

As a former Raytheon manager, I can say with 100% certainty that employee-facing management is mandated to abuse the workforce. Projects are perpetually underbid and over promised. Work-life balance is non-existent. Innovation is actively discouraged. The Aurora location is severely over-crowded. None of this will change any time soon.
