Pros

9/80 Work week - Flex Time

Cons

Negotiate the best possible salary when you first start working here otherwise your career is limited as the company doesn't allow individuals to easily move to another position the may be qualified for because of the existing paygrade. Company doesn't seem to want to promote from within - - - they hire new hires off the street and pay them substantially more money and managers flat out tell you to quit a year and then come back if you are wanting more money.

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!
