Pros

Great salary and benefits. Great work/life balance. Tucson is a fun and interesting city. Raytheon has one of the friendliest environments I've ever experienced.

Cons

Raytheon will not let a new hire start until their security clearance goes through, which can take months. This means by the time you start, the job you accepted could disappear and Raytheon will reassign you based on their current needs.

Pros

-Pay is good -Employee Scholar Program is an excellent benefit -Ability to be exposed to a variety of cool technologies

Cons

-Work here is incredibly slow depending on location. I'm a top performer and have to consistently have to ask my team lead for more work on a weekly basis. Sometimes he is unavailable or doesn't respond to my messages with new task. Seeing as I'm required to come into the office, it is frustrating and discouraging that my team can never seem to properly make use of my talents and time. -Managers are pretty much useless and do not provide any form of mentorship or guidance to employees. -You have to fight for mentorship and promotion opportunities here. Raytheon does not have an effective mentorship program in place which I feel leads to a lot of underdeveloped engineers. -Raytheon doesn't seem to have any form of culture or camaraderie anymore. I work in the same state as my team, but I never see them in person. It is honestly sad that some programs are this disorganized or dysfunctional. Corporate leadership preached that Return to Office would increase in-person collaboration (which I was excited for), but I have not seen this put into practice. To put it into context, I've been on my current program for 5 months now and I've only seen my team lead in-person once. Additionally I have yet to meet anyone else on the program in-person or digitally via Teams or Zoom meetings. Everyone on my current program seems to work in their own bubble that they do not want to come out of except via the occasional email.
