RTX reviews

very VERY old workforce. If you're looking to advance in your career you better hope someone either retires or dies. Management is extremely old and seemingly works to protect each other. There is lots of young talent that walks out the door because they are tired of waiting around for promotions to never come. Who you know is much more important than what you can do. You might say that's true for all companies, but at Raytheon they seem to take it to a level of ridiculousness. Once you have certain levels of credentials or academic accomplishments it seems like no matter what you do you can't get let go. More than once I watched someone who was "above" me do inferior work that I could have done in my sleep.

- It was impossible to get a promotion/ decent raise - R6S was a joke. At one point, my dept required each of us to 2 projects per year. They were a huge waste of time that were only completed to "check the box" for Annual review time - In many depts home/ work life balance was none existent. I knew people who were supposedly on the 9/80 schedule and who worked EVERY Friday without exception. In my case, towards the end, I was working late nights, and at least 8 - 12 hours a weekend. - Management biases against minorities - Incompetent management that did not know anything about the jobs/ responsibilities of the people they managed
