Pros

The benefits, schedule flexibility, and pay are very good. These are honestly the only pros. The truly genuine employees are few and far between.

Cons

Backstabbing galore. Soap opera lives abound. You never know when a layoff is lurking. Way too many clicks all over. Too many want to be top dog.

Pros

9-80 for salaried workers, not the hourly, which is every other Friday off. In some cases can negotiate it to every other Monday off instead. High pay. Bench strength; nearly always there is backup, meaning few people have 'all' their work waiting for them after a week of vacation. Is pretty good for a Fortune 500 company. They try to promote workers with people skills, not necessarily the best worker--causes resentment but leads to better managerial skills in the first few mgmt levels.

Cons

Middle managers only one level up can cancel 9-80 when they want to, for as long as they want. One incident of slow response to a floor problem and some managers cancel it for months. Valuing 'get along, go along' over everything else means there is no innovation; the nail that sticks up gets pounded down. When there is a bad manager or bad engineer, they often punish the careers of the first 3-4 people to complain rather than the perpetrator. Have seen a whole dept. sign a petition to fire their bad boss or they will quit en masse, and the manager was simply moved to another dept, not fired. Within a year, there was talk of doing the same petition there.

Pros

Flexible schedule Work life balance New location coming Perks, gym, 401k Lots of technolgies maybe a little too much Lots of upward mobility as far as SW Architects

Cons

Ratheon IIS Garland/Richardson As a new engineer I was frequently degraded, belittled, ignored (in other words the culture allowed workplace bullying). No mentorship, no morale. Because of this I left this job because i could not take it anymore. Do not apply for the raytheon iis unless you have very thick skin as an new person coming on board. Management has no transparency and the culture is very self-centered for the most part. No transparency Management No Mentorship Culture allows workplace bullying Onboarding of new engineers is lacking Training is very minimal Way too many technologies being used decreaseing productivity
