Pros

Easy to take days off when needed. Well-establishes programs. Job security. Workcan be easy or challenging depending on your drive. Opportunities for career advancement if in right position and timing. Many senior engineers willing to mentor. Management supports changing jobs internally to find passion

Cons

Takes awhile to move up in ranking. Difficult to obtain above average raises at beginning of career. Easy to get stuck in a position that is monotonous. A lot of managers and manager shuffling for whatever reason. Great disconnect between “higher ups”and junior engineers. Departments very independent.

Pros

I worked at Raytheon for over 4 years and had a great experience. The company provided many learning and growth opportunities. I was promoted twice during my tenure with the company, and my responsibility increased significantly. I felt like my management supported me and provided me with the career mentorship that I was seeking. I felt empowered and respected during my time there.

Cons

It can be difficult to work at such a large defense contractor company because of all the process and red tape. Things can move slowly, you have to be patient and pick your battles. That being said, if you learn how to work within the system, you can make a significant impact here!
