Pros

Great salary and benefits. Great work/life balance. Tucson is a fun and interesting city. Raytheon has one of the friendliest environments I've ever experienced.

Cons

Raytheon will not let a new hire start until their security clearance goes through, which can take months. This means by the time you start, the job you accepted could disappear and Raytheon will reassign you based on their current needs.

Pros

Great entry level company. You will learn a lot on the job. There is a lot of opportunity for career movement.

Cons

Slow-paced (could be a pro for some people) Lots of "red-tape" / paperwork Management is questionable. Couldn't land prime contracts and over committed on some proposals. This led to massive layoffs.
