Pros

Exciting new technology applications. Progressive. Growth oriented. Good pay and benefits. Great location. Strong top leadership reflected in sustained, balanced growth. Consolidation of major missile programs to achieve operating efficiency. There are opportunities within the division and within the company. Not all of them are upward-oriented. There is always some achievement to celebrate - not just program successes but recognition for excellence in all business areas.

Cons

Bureaucracy. Technical arrogance. Lack of respect from peers. Working as a defense contractor tends to make us like them. Although the government has many initiatives to operate efficiently there are a lot of contractors and it's often hard to get an answer or see a path to an answer. Nobody seems to have the whole picture. Our organization parallels that image.

Pros

Raytheon is a leading company in developing equipment for the military. Developing advanced systems can be a challenging and fulfilling work experience on the forefront of the developing cutting edge systems for a diverse array of organizations including the Air Force, Navy and Army. "Superstars" thrive at Raytheon and will be nurtured and supported by management and the organization as a whole. There is no shortage of work and the opportunities within this company show an amazing diversity. If you are a high performance individual, Raytheon should help you build your career in whatever direction you want it to develop.

Cons

Low level employees get very little responsibility and must work hard to earn the trust of their management. I really felt as though I was a cog in a vast machine with no hope of rising quickly through the organization, and this was within Raytheon's Leadership Development Program. I was not even close to developed as a leader there. The superstar culture coupled with the vast manufacturing required to implement the technologies developed there, unfortunately requires a vast infrastructure in which many many employees contribute only indirectly to the advancement of any technologies. As a result, systems become entrenched, employees are not empowered and a huge number of people work in "support roles".

Pros

This employer has a take care of you mentality. The culture is to treat other people with respect, and it shows. Very supportive of flexible hours. Interns get basically full benefits including health insurance and paid time off. Easy to maintain a work life balance at Raytheon because of the great hours.

Cons

Like any other big company, employees have a limited ability to change Raytheon's direction. Things move slow at times, and you may get stuck waiting for other people. Generally speaking, everything gets done, but it may not be as soon as you would like or think should be expected.
