Pros

There are lots of different opportunities, Signal Processing, GNC, Software, Hardware, Simulation, etc. Some people are nice and smart, some are not. I have seen people switch teams/departments, so you can learn new stuff. Thereare also chances you get to interact with other teams and learn some of their stuff. Raytheon offers tuition reimbursements, so you can take courses in university or take Raytheon offered accelerated classes onsite at your own time. 9/80 schedule, flexible time (for the most part). PTO is defense industry standard.

Cons

Raise is minimal. Salary is higher for new employees than someone that works there for years to climb up the ladder. Is this how you keep talents? If you work on company propriety stuff, you hardly get rewarded even if you do a good job. If you know how to kiss butt, you can get more opportunities even if you don't know much about technical stuff. Why? Assign the work to someone else in your team, so the team lead can share the same success with you by "good" management. Some people seem to talk their way up while some do all the hard work and still remains in a semi-high level.

Want to feel like a cog in a huge, uncaring, corporate machine? Try Raytheon!

Pros

Work/life balance is generally OK if you're not in management and refuse to work unpaid OT.

Cons

Substandard raises for high tech jobs. Think 2-3% for high performers in high tech fields. Low 401k match compared to many companies. TERRIBLE health insurance. The worst I've had in corporate America. Routinely lie about advancement opportunity to keep people from quitting. They routinely email you to ask you to join "RAYPAC" by donating your own salary BACK to Raytheon to help them bribe Congress to buy more Raytheon products. No monetary recognition of outstanding performers (Bonuses? What bonuses?) Record-breaking year after record-breaking year, plus a huge tax cut, and they cut benefits for the employees to pay out more to shareholders. Utterly soulless and devoid of ethical concerns in dealing with their employees, regulators, or the world in general. CEO has nothing but praise for Trump because he bombs so many people indiscriminately with our products that it's sent our stock value flying like a Tomahawk missile. Good luck getting a piece of that pie though.
