RTX reviews

Constantly being bullied, not cool. I wish work was easier but it was pretty dull. Constant curve balls, and change of direction that if you didn't duck or ran with the current you can get swallowed real easy. The team I managed was mediocre at best. Engineers were young and didn't have the smarts. Everyone's attitude is to do whatever benefits themselves. The company and products come third, fourth, or fifth. Recruiting was hard, almost impossible to hire people to come to Forest given the low wages, vacation, and benefits offered. Hard to climb the ladder in a manufacturing facility. There is very little design work, therefore if you want to work on projects where you do the same things over and over this might be the place. If you want a dynamic place with different projects etc. look elsewhere.

- Leaderships is smart, but not good at inspiring low level leaders to do the right things - A bunch of slightly above average people doing the wrong things - They talk continuous improvement, but its not really the mindset. Firefighting is what is rewarded, so that is what people do. - Backward accounting system incentives terrible decisions on floor. - If you miss a metric, you are often yelled at and punished. People are seen as the problem, never the system which enables mistake after mistake. - Lack of diversity. All old white men. Everyone has only worked at Raytheon their whole career. No outside perspectives. - Very political. All about who you know and who you do things for. Not meritocratic at all. Great people would likely leave this environment for faster upward mobility and more challenging positions. - Terrible on boarding process. No respect for new employees. Push managers to invest in people at the front lines, not just speak it at the senior level.
