Pros

Doing actual technical work. Getting hands on experience. Hughes legacy in El Segundo. Raytheon matches 4% of 401k without a vesting period. The annual bonuses of roughly 1.5-3.5% are small, but they are something. The week off between Christmas and New Years is very unique to the Aerospace industry. The company values Technical expertise as much or more than Managers.

Cons

Lost as a number. Management always talking about slim training budget.

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!
