      New Hire :|

      Pros

      The location is great. Near the beach, near LAX, near freeway and public transport. As with any large aerospace company, you get decent health benefits, competitive pay, and employee networking groups. Work schedule is quite flexible with the option to work a 9/80.

      Cons

      In my department, it seems management are too busy to deal with new hires' problems. Unlike other aerospace companies, they don't give you anything to do (constructive or not) while waiting on security clearances. Which can take weeks to months. Other companies will usually find tasks that don't require clearance. Not as social an enviornment as I was expecting. Medium to low morale all around. As with any aerospace company, you are expected to work maybe 50-60 hrs/wk. Pay lower than I expected for aerospace industry.

      Pros

      The company has great hours, very flexible. Get your work done and basically set your own hours. Projects are different, as long as you have ownership of your work, you make your schedule. The pay is great starting out, but each year I think it just keeps up with inflation (4% max) unless you are promoted to the next level. For young engineers, the promotion process probably takes place at first 2 years, and then 3-4 years to the next level. The atmosphere is pretty laid back and co-workers were friendly. Being a young engineer, you are very valued at the company.

      Cons

      The pay scale will not go very high, raises are dismal. The atmosphere can get boring as projects are sometimes massive, with little knowledge of where your work will really go. The average age of employees are Raytheon is around 45, which means a young engineer may be pretty lonely. Sometimes the "laid back" atmosphere can get very boring when there is no work or very drab work that you are handed. You can be switched around to different projects depending on the need, so you have to make sure that you voice your desired projects. Sometimes I went days without talking to anyone, just doing my own work and going home.

      Good work life balance, though not challenging

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Raytheon gives a very good work-life balance. The flex time is a bonus that is essential for people with children. The benefits are very good -- medical, dental, visual, other insurance benefits are comprehensive. On most projects, work is not too demanding, and could easily do 40 hours a week. This is significantly less than the more competitive commercial field. Education assistances towards obtaining higher degrees is readily available Raytheon stresses on work ethics, most people treat each other with respect.

      Cons

      Compensation is competitive when you first enter, however, raises drop off to single digits. After about 3-5 years in the compny, it is not worth staying since your peers in the engineering field in outside industry is already making more. Work is not challenging, there is not much to learn. There is stress on processes, tend to do more process and paper work than actual design and engineering. May not be a good place to learn and grow as someone straight out of college.
