Pros

Potential of opportunities to work on Defense for the United States. Very Good Health Coverage.

Cons

Very delayed and inaccurate feedback on performance. It appears to be that Program and Project Management have unwritten criteria that their dissatisfaction is to be voiced to the employee officially as "we are over budget", then to the employees department supervision as "very dissatisfied with performance." A worst case scenario is to meet the employee in the hall and tell them verbally, that they were correct is their assesment and results, but be unwilling to correct their official input. Ironically, the program personnel will use your results and output to advance their program. If my results were unsatisfactory, then why would you use them and have me update them?

Pros

Interesting assignments reasonably available. Few layoffs.

Cons

Declining technical competence of management. Declining appreciation of technical accomplishment. Dramatically increasing job pressure due to non replacement of departing employees.

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.
