Pros

Interesting assignments reasonably available. Few layoffs.

Cons

Declining technical competence of management. Declining appreciation of technical accomplishment. Dramatically increasing job pressure due to non replacement of departing employees.

Pros

The compensation and work/life balance. If you work at Raytheon and live in Tucson, you live like a king. It is a great place to accumulate wealth, not just earn a high salary. The current global situation has allowed for excessive funding for many projects, which forces young employees to grow quickly out of necessity.

Cons

Very tracked career path. If you overachieve, it does not always lead to a promotion or recognition; you may have to do your time in order to be promoted. This does not happen at other companies, where performance is recognized almost immediately.

Pros

Typical large firm, rather stable but set in their ways. Decent benefits, and pay. Being large much potential for different assignments, especially if you are an engineer, a vet, a minority or a female. I am none of these. Providing quality defense products to our men & women in the Armed Forces is the only reason I'm still there.

Cons

Unusual culture, have heard statements like "job on the line" even when the issue is clearly out of your control. Bureaucracy is as expected at a large company, it's made worse when you are sitting across a table from people with 40, 35, or 30 year service pins. Don't expect to make any quick changes and as mentioned above especially if you are not an Engineer or Vet or a Female or a Minority.
