Pros

-Competitive starting salary for new grads. -Excellent benefits -9/80 work schedule is great for breaking up the work/life structure -Opportunity to get involved in recreational groups to network with fellow employees.

Cons

As a new hire there is no structure to address adjustment to a new company, and virtually no mentoring or goal addressing. The age gap is clearly visible amongst employees. There are a few new grads, but the majority of the company is in the 35-55 age bracket. T The group dynamic needs to be instilled in workers. Working collaboratively would be much better than being explained what you 'need to do.' Any engineer knows there is more than one way to accomplish a task.

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!
