Pros

Diverse projects. Every assignment was a little different. Fullerton office mechanical staff got to wear many hats. Lots of opportunities for travel to customers and suppliers, especially for Foreign Sales projects. Great work-life balance. Very flexible with hours. Pretty good cafeteria food too.

Cons

Horrible, dated document control practices enforced by entrenched bureaucrats as a means to keep their jobs. Lots of office politics. Senior faculty who did not report to anyone and often refused to cooperate with project teams

Pros

They are truly a large corporation with all of the characteristics that go along with that. Good processes in place, opportunities for advancement. The best part of Raytheon are the great people who work there. Good compensation, but raise percentages were declining in the last 6 years; mirroring the employment environment; also driven by the particular area and focus of the business area you're in.

Cons

Raytheon touts their people as their best and most important asset, but that doesn't match their decisions and actions. Still a strongly dominated male environment in spite of some new female leaders appointed. More challenging for women to be recognized as innovative contributors. Very political company which drives leadership behavior, benefiting the leaderships' careers. Indianapolis has different benefits than the other RTN companies. Recommendation -- is if you have a choice, work for another division; but still a company I would work for again.

Pros

9/80 Work Schedule (Every other Friday off)

Cons

The "Forced Rating System" is used not allowing actual deserved performance ratings by supervisors (i.e. most great performers told they are doing fair only or unacceptable). there is forced employment reductions of employees over 50 years of age (their form of the movie "Logan;s Run"). Most managers are managers only with no experience about what their staff does (non-technical).
