A great company but driven by bean-counters, micro-managers, and over-reacting to burning platform mentality. - Engineering Support Tech RTX Employee Review

Pros

Great benefits. Stable work environement. Recognition and advancement.

Cons

You have to be extremely self-driven to get ahead but don't ever step on any toes. Over the last 5 years legacy systems that were the bread and butter of success have been replaced by new software driven control systems that have put handcuffs on how processes are done. Bean counters rule the programs and R&D is barely negligable. We lose valuable projects to outside vendors because we have initiated stringent new policies on ourselves that make us more expensive than outside work. There are too many chiefs and not enough indians anymore.

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!
