Pros

The company allows for a relatively flexible work schedule, and has great work/life balance. They have a system called the 9/80 schedule where you can choose to work 80 hours over the course of 9 days and take every other Friday off (given there's no urgent work that needs to be completed).

Cons

- There isn't a much of a training guideline for new hires, and management seems to expect the employees to figure it out. - The HR department is quite slow in processing anything, and also relatively inflexible in negotiations (part of it due to being a large company). - Politics also play a big part in in the company, and functions in quite an old-fashioned manner (having unwritten rules of what is qualified as a promotion). - Culture isn't particularly friendly or unfriendly, very much just a place to work and go home to family, don't expect to make a lot of buddies from work who all grab beer together afterwards.

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!
