Pros

The company makes a cool product

Cons

The company has recently mandated unpaid overtime for an indeterminate amount of time for salaried engineers, with no actual reason provided as to why. Pay has not come even close to keeping pace with inflation. Management is unable to even acknowledge real concerns of bureaucracy, terrible digital infrastructure. The only focus is attracting new talent, there is no attempt made to reward existing employees. The company makes a song and dance of asking employees for input, but makes no attempt to correct any issues. Infrastructure is embarrassing, onsite buildings are falling apart.

Pros

Plenty of opportunity to move up within the company. Willing to pay for schooling through Raytheon's education program. Plenty of PTO and sick time.

Cons

I feel that the location I was at did not pay competitively.

Pros

Concern for Safety is a legitimate priority. The work is very process oriented and theres little uncertainty or chaos in the day to day. Theres a formalized way of doing everything. Work-life balance is good for the american standard.

Cons

The company is 100+ years old so the way things get done is over-constrained and very resistant to change. As a result work can be monotonous and Information, while abundant, is extremely difficult to reliably retreive. You will work harder not smarter.
