Pros

If in the right position, you may significantly grow technical skills that one is not able to do elsewhere. You have the opportunity to work with and think about technology that is knowledge limited. You have a decently stable position that one can grow a family and have a decent work/life balance.

Cons

This is a knock at the industry and not the company. The hierarchy is strictly structured like that of government bodies, making it harder for engineers to advance their career as it is in other industries. The pay is not as generous either as other industries, but is a payoff to its stability.

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!
