Pros

Nothing's cooler than working in the defense industry - your work is helping to save lives. RTSC is an especially cool division of Raytheon because, rather than making weapons, we are purely about servicess. Much of our work is support to other divisions of Raytheon, which allows for exposure into a variety of projects, while other work is essentially doing a better job on things than the government could.

Cons

Some jobs require long hours, but that's the nature of work in the defense industry.

Pros

If you enjoy working for the US government and working within large organizations Raytheon is the place for you. They give a lot of employee flexibility with time off and treat employees with respect. The work is constantly changing and there are lots of programs to work on located across the country.

Cons

Very little innovation is encouraged within government programs for Defense. Which can stifle some employees. The company is also heavily populated by older entrenched co-workers and management which can completely stop any growth and change.

Pros

Flexible work hours. Benefits aren't too bad. Job security as long as you're at least halfway competent or showing an effort. Relatively high starting salary. Good amount of freedom in implementing new technologies; as long as it works, it's okay. Great pool of talented developers. Good place to start a career.

Cons

In terms of web technologies, they are constantly playing catch-up. Web technologies are not pushed by management and are basically left to developers to decide what new technologies are worth implementing, and even then, it has to be compatible with their archaic infrastructure. Pay raises are dependent on how well you can sell yourself and what you've been doing all year; basically it is a huge BS fest and whoever can BS the best wins! You will likely get a raise every year, but the average raise is 3%, which will likely not cover the annual cost of living increase. Even though the company is filled with amazing talented developers, it is also filled with some pretty bone-headed, uninformed managers who are stuck in an old way of doing things. Depending on where you work or what project you're on, they can be a bit stingy when it comes to getting you the equipment you need to do your job.
