HR system is archaic and there seems to be a large generational gap between the senior management and the average employee.
Good benefits
Wide variety of jobs for mobile professional
Good network for information sharing
Well-defined processes
Cons
Primarily US defense work; expect budget cuts and fewer contracts
Training is hit or miss, depending on overhead budget situation
Management tends to be overly optimistic; doesn't share bad news
Benefits are great. Salaries are competitive. Mobility is encouraged and available across the businesses, functions, and regions. The company has treated me well.
Cons
I'm not sure you'll make it rich working a career at any company, and RTN is the same. The company can be slow to make change, and has yet to embrace all automation techniques for internal tools.
