Pros

- The hiring bonus was great and so was the relocation - Pay is decent - Work/life balance is okay at first - Minimal supervision/no micromanaging

Cons

They have a huge issue with hiring and keeping people on the team. Millions and millions of dollars come in through contract award but almost no increase in staffing for IT. Schedule is unpredictable. Forced to work very long hours and get called in almost weekly. Approved to take PTO and then coerced into to cancelling at last minute. Constantly understaffed and overworked. Leadership keeps saying they'll do something, hire more employees, but the opposite is happening as people quit or transfer roles the people left behind are the ones who end up doing their job in addition to their normal job. Toxic work environment and most people are afraid to raise concerns to upper management for fear of being forced out of the roles or "quiet fired." If you bring up any concern to HR, they use it against you and form a case to make you be quiet. Complete disregard for work life balance when a contract proposal is on the line, even though IT is the usually the last to find out about what the program wants or needs.

Pros

Historically a wonderful company from an employee perspective.

Cons

Raytheon has always focused on making employees and Customers feel valued. As a result, there has been tremendous support from employees and Customers during major transitions, whether M&A, org realignments or introduction of new systems which directly impacted employees. To sum up this HR/ 401K/Pension/Benefits transition to a company called Alight Solutions, it has been a horror story from an employee perspective. Social media, telephone lines, and employees have become overwhelmed by what appears to be one of the worst transitions in history. Reports range from tens of thousands of dollars unaccounted for in 401K accounts, lack of health insurance, loss of critical dependent and beneficiary data, hours on the phone with reps who have not a clue what is expected of them to unfulfilled promises to return employee calls to calls that are routinely disconnected. Raytheon has been an amazing company with whom to be associated. this debacle makes one wonder what is happening from a Senior Leadership perspective.

Pros

Decent pay, every other Friday off. Direct co-workers were great people.

Cons

Completely disorganized from the top down. Left hand never knows what the right hand is doing. After a year, I still didn't have a desk - and I had a desk job. I also had to pilfer monitors, keyboard and mouse from people that had left just so I had equipment to do my job. Management is not great, and it's just a boys club. They hire a lot of women - and it seems as though that is to check off boxes. They say they care, but they really can't be bothered with anything unless you can give them a charge number to charge their time to.
