Pros
* Has some great products * Product catalog sold out forever, because our government is deadset on the "War As A Service" model and not just... you know. Ending them. * Some seriously deep, dedicated engineers floating around
Cons
* Management has a TON of Peter Principled inepts just shuffling things around and looking busy while absolutely nothing - ever - changes. Ever. * Zero interest or attention to employee retention. When HR was asked about this, directly, in a company all hands the response was: "Oh well, we're trying to recruit actively!" The misunderstanding of the question felt like the most honest answer we'd heard yet. * Limp recruitment. People are going to work on crypto or AI. Not defense. Not in the USA, anyway. *Raytheon has STD. It's pretty gross. Stands for Silo'd To Death. The nature of what we do creates 'containerization', which breeds inefficiency. In a healthy company managers will work together to combat that inefficiency, such as duplication of effort or forking standards. Not here. Here we just roll with it. Interdepartmental battles, pariahs, gluttonous power lords with absurd ideals (Cyber, looking at you, bud!), and dopey managers just looking to slide by enough time to get their next promotion are the way of the day.
