RTX reviews

Overall, Raytheon provides a good job with little risk of layoff. The starting pay is generally attractive, the performance sharing payouts are decent, and the benefits are pretty good. Work schedules are very flexible and in most situations there is no pressure to consistently work over 40 hours a week. Its a great job to have in uncertain economic times such as these if you rely on the income. Its also a great job if you want a relatively certain, steady rise in income (to my knowledge, Raytheon has never seen an across-the-board pay cut and few years with no raises at all).

Your perspective on the employer you work for is a function of your job, the manager you work directly for, and your own outlook on life. It always amazes me that people who don't listen, don't get it, and are ultimately responsible for their own poor experience blame it on everyone else around them. They expect to be fed everything, rather than proactively get engaged and discover what the possibilities are, and how they contribute. Raytheon offers significant career opportunity, if you get engaged and take charge of it yourself. Great pay and benefits, flexible hours, and pretty strong leadership, at least in IDS.
