Pros

One of the few places I've worked that gives you good career opportunities, nice benefits, flexible work hours without expecting you to work a 60 hour week. They give you time to get your work done and have a life outside of work. The time frames for assignments are longer which gives you time to do things right and to spend time on personal and professional development. Benefits that I haven't seen since the early 90s.

Cons

Raytheon is a large government contractor and as such has everything that goes along with that like a lot of management, and tedious processes. You can feel like a cog because you are so isolated from upper management and their decisions. They tell you what is going on and ask for your input but don't expect to change any minds.

Pros

Raytheon has given me a chance to prove myself and get promoted. Sure there are differences in various managers in different departments on both the functional and program side, but I think that if you prove yourself, management will notice. They have noticed me and treated me very well. I've been contacted by other companies, but at this time, I'm happy with Raytheon because of the way they've promoted me and noticed my hard work.

Cons

You're in the defense business and if your're new to it then dealing with security is going to be long and painful. Everything moves VERY slow because of security and various processes. If you work on DoD Secret or even higher, get ready to lose your cell phones at work, and maybe even get cut off from the outside world for most of the day. Also, you can be on overhead for a while if you aren't immediately placed in a program. But once you are, things are good.
