Pros

Good work / life balance Big company in a lot of locations - if you have something other than your career driving your geographical situation (say, a spouse's career) it could be helpful Good benefits Helping to protect / enable our soldiers

Cons

So much process! It feels like they're trying to completely eliminate original thinking. Most of the time you're, either directly or indirectly, making weapons. If you've got moral issues with that, this co probably won't be a good fit.

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!
