Raytheon reviews

When you start a new program, very poor knowledge transfer and predecessor typically gone already. Room to stand out because management and leadership skills are very poor, and reporting to 8 bosses at once (they call "matrix" but feels more like being a contractor, seldom seeing the supervisor that signs your paychecks) Which was ok until the merger with UTC 4 years ago. Since then, it's a constant management shuffle and constant process changes that are poorly communicated, if at all. Then, after 4 years of talking about "Office of the Future" and promising facility upgrades that never materialized, the latest executive newbie issued an edict that 100% of employees return to the office 5 days a week...regardless of the lack of seating or desk space. Requests for ADA disability accommodations to continue working from home at least some days was rejected (documentation veteran disability status not enough, demands of fresh doctor forms and very rigid process). Needless to say, chaos is the result

Raytheon is a disorganized, inefficient, hot mess. As far as I can tell, we are wasting tax payer dollars at a level that merits criminal charges. It's horrible. Most new hires are fresh grads, and there are not enough mid or senior level career folks to teach them the job. The ones that do exist are largely ignoring the cries for help from new hires. Documentation of code and processes is non existent, making it extremely difficult to learn the job or debug poorly written code. I wake up every day full of existential dread at the thought of going to work. When I come home ar night, I'm too exhausted to pursue my hobbies. I can't wait til I don't owe them money for the sign on bonus and I can leave this pit of dispair.
