Pros

Raytheon SAS is a great place to work. Managers are very hands-off and there is no real pressure to work overtime. I speak from having worked on 11+ programs at the company. The people are well-rounded and social which makes for a pleasant work environment.

Cons

It is a slow and traditional defense company. Work is paper heavy. The way contracts, bidding, and proposals work, innovation is a recipe for disaster at this company. However, this is true for all defense companies (and I've worked at several).

Pros

Exposure to cutting edge technology and opportunities to work in many different fields if desired. Classified projects tend to be the most exciting and there's no shortage of them at SAS. When or if engineers are interested in trying a different type of task, line management does a good job of meeting those needs.

Cons

Another new initiative or process flowed out every few months. This causes workers to doubt the competence of upper management.
