      The place to work if you like to get paid to be a warm body.

      Pros

      If you like a low workload, this is the place for you. The people seem very nice. This is a great place to get started working and learn basic coding skills. Popcorn on wednesdays.

      Cons

      There is no interesting work, especially if you are new to the division. All work here is maintenance work, no new development. I have not done any design work or coding really at all in the 6 months I have been here. Thus far I have fixed bugs and written documentation. When I've tried to change this situation, I have been told by my management that I have to stay doing nothing (sorry "writing" documentation) because now they have money and need to spend the money. I am not a special case here, this happens to most ALL new employees coming in. Software engineering is 15-20 years behind the commercial industry. I'm talking basic techniques and tools here.

      The work experience at Raytheon is largely defined by the excellent job security.

      Pros

      Raytheon SAS produces a products that are generally insulated from the cycles of general economy, so having a job at Raytheon during a recession is preferable for the job security. Applications for top secret security clearances are filed for almost all engineers, and having a security clearance makes one more marketable, at least if one wants to work in the defense industry. Also, being in the defense industry means that work will not be outsourced. The pay, benefits, flexible work hours, and understanding culture makes a Raytheon job perfect for someone who has a family to support. The work environment is generally respectful of individuals and civil. Engineers who are female, live with a disability, or are considered a member of a minority group are given substantial opportunities for advancement in middle management.

      Cons

      Since job security is so good at Raytheon, risk-averse people tend to populate the ranks of Raytheon's employees. This means a fairly conservative stance toward the exploration of new technologies, adoption of new processes, and promotion of new and young employees. The ranks of middle management tend to fill with process-minded people who value regiment to a fault. Creative, big-idea types don't tend to find themselves in position to make decisions. Underqualified people also tend to hang around longer than they should, which means qualified employees tend to pick up the slack. Respect towards people is excellent, at least when it comes to personal interactions. However, the bureaucratic nature of the company tends to make employees feel unempowered, ignored, and unappreciated.

      Raytheon: A comfortable place to work

      Pros

      Raytheon is a very easy and safe place to work. If an individual enjoys a slow and comfortable pace of work they will enjoy working at Raytheon. The company is not the best place for an ambitious high achiever. The flexible work schedule (9/80) and ample time off are nice. In general employees are treated with respect. Lots of opportunities for growth in the future given the aging work force.

      Cons

      Slow pace of work and advancement. There can be a glass ceiling in certain functional areas if you do not have a military background or engineering background. Working with the government is slow and not very interesting. Your counterparts on the government side are often not up to par in terms of their overall intellect and talent.
