Pros

I was paid more than 80k as entry level.

Cons

First off I was told I’d have to relocate to take the job, so I did because it wasn’t a good one and I didn’t think I could pass it up. I relocated and reported for my first day just for them to tell me I worked remote, that I could come in but nobody on my team but my manager (who had nothing to do with my role) was in the city I moved to. Anyways I applied and was hired for one role, when I started they had me in a different role reporting to people who thought I applied for the role I was given. I spoke to my manager, and his manager, and even a hugging manger and was told my placement was an accident and that they would help me transition into a role that better suited me. I was at first told I had to wait the 6 months before I could be transferred and then I was told I didn’t because my placement wasn’t my fault. I was told to find jobs on the internal website I’d be good with and send them to both my manager and my managers manager, as well as the bothering manager. I repeatedly check back in over the next 3-6 months but either didn’t get a reply or was given the run around. They found me work to do that supported others and I was used to, even though I was willing to learn while they placed me elsewhere. I didn’t have any tasks of my own or anything I solely owned, I was used in a support role for many people. Fast forward a year and a few months in and nothing has changed. When the lay offs started, I was one of the first people to go and I was told it was because I was only in a supportive role.

Pros

Job opportunities, flexibility, pay, etc.

Cons

Raytheon doesn't value quality. The most thankless job in the company. Most are not technical and have no idea how to do their job as quality engineers.
