Cool defense job. lots of projects. You need security clearance to work here. In this downturn in economy, working in defense related aerospace company is better than sitting at home.

A safe but somewhat static place to work.

Business Outlook

Pros

Good pay and benefits, generally benign management, job security in bad economic times. Raytheon's HR policies are among the most forward-looking of any company in the defense business. Opportunities to advance to management are abundant, even if opportunities to advance a technical career are not quite as abundant. Much of the work force come from the baby-boom generation, and thus will retire soon. This wave of retirements will clear the way for younger workers to advance their careers.

Cons

Process-bound, bureaucratic company, opposite of agile, pays lip service to innovation but R&D performance (where's the money?) is only average for the industry. In fact, Raytheon IIS's R&D budget is much smaller per employee than other Raytheon business units.
