Pros

Raytheon is a very big company so your career can really be what you make of it. Each site and division is different. So you may have to be willing to move around to really grow. As with any big company, some sites are better than others. If you find a site that suits your skill sets and interests you can enjoy a growing career. Benefits are very good and work schedule is fairly flexible

Cons

It is easy to get stuck or pigeon holed into a particular program that may have dying technologies.

Pros

There were a ton a places to advance and move your career if you were willing to put forth the effort. The company has great benefits, possible flexability with your work schedule, and a very friendly atmosphere.

Cons

Its a large company so as a whole it lacked the work "family" experience. However, you got that feeling from working on individual programs. And like any big company its easy to get lost in the masses but people willing to put in the extra effort did get recognized.
