RTX reviews

Since job security is so good at Raytheon, risk-averse people tend to populate the ranks of Raytheon's employees. This means a fairly conservative stance toward the exploration of new technologies, adoption of new processes, and promotion of new and young employees. The ranks of middle management tend to fill with process-minded people who value regiment to a fault. Creative, big-idea types don't tend to find themselves in position to make decisions. Underqualified people also tend to hang around longer than they should, which means qualified employees tend to pick up the slack. Respect towards people is excellent, at least when it comes to personal interactions. However, the bureaucratic nature of the company tends to make employees feel unempowered, ignored, and unappreciated.

Lack of pay, constant government. Poor communication constantly hinders getting any real work done. Raytheon is constantly a subcontractor to other defense organizations. Because of this, communication between the prime and Raytheon is lacking at best. Oftentimes what is asked of employees is very vague because even the managers are not sure which direction the project should be moving in.
