Pros
Interesting work, strong technical staff, good facilities.
Cons
Senior management has lost technical insight into the product it makes. High turn-over rate in senior management positions, with many hired in from outside Raytheon Large space systems programs are all typically over budget and behind schedule Engineers are literally treated like galley slaves in order to complete these programs Over-reliance on process. Too many process control statements. Nobody knows what they mean or how to apply them Line management quality has been poor. Line management merely provides body shop function Engineers are pigeon-holed as to what they are "experts" at. Legacy-Hughes retirement program has a strange warping effect. Many bitter senior staff hang on until they qualify for retirement then quit when they can.
