Pros

Being such a large company, Raytheon offers many opportunities for growth and career development. The talent is top-notch, and innovators in systems engineering and process.

Cons

It is difficult to emerge and experience opportunities outside of DoD. There still seems to be an "old guard" feel to the company, especially on the large Navy contracts.

Pros

Interesting technology, flexible work schedule, competitive pay...but you have to keep abreast of your own market value as management will low ball you every year on your merit increases if you let them.

Cons

SAS is split between California & Texas. I've worked both places. In California, the engineers are treated like the technical talent that they are...plenty of training opportunities, many major contracts requiring a wide variety of specialties, plenty of room/opportunities for growth and advancement. In Texas, the engineers in SAS are treated as though they should feel lucky to have decent paying jobs. The Texas organization is very top heavy (lots of engineers with 20+ years of experience) making it very difficult for junior engineers to advance. You basically have to wait for the older people to retire. There are no opportunities to learn new skills as there is no training budget for Texas. Also, most of the programs are production type programs, so if you are a design engineer and/or are looking for development programs, skip Texas and go to California. Maybe the super cheap cost of living in Texas makes management apathetic to the needs of their employees. In California, I guess they realize people aren't going to stick around in a high cost of living environment unless they are treated well.

Flexible work arrangements. Mutual respect. Good balance between work and life. Great education assistance benefits. Great pay and benefits. Great retirement plan.

Cons

Not much direction provided by upper management. Some good old boy club practices on assigning projects. Feedback for job performance not always given on time.
