Strong Values, Meaningful Work

Pros

A technology based company, Raytheon products support first responders in emergencies, protect the lives of servicemen and women, facilitate safe travel and other efforts an employee can be proud to have contributed to. The company has multiple sites across the United States, and hires for engineering, manufacturing and multiple functional disciplines. Raytheon promotes core values, and is committed to diversity and inclusion.

Cons

The company leans to the conservative, however, this allows Raytheon to perform with consistency. In terms of talent acquisition, requisitions for new hires tend to be written for a siloed approach (for example, to be successful, a candidate must possess X years within the silo; someone with transferrable skills may be "screened out" if their experience comes from another discipline)--not that this is any different than industry peers. Lateral moves for rotational development require a creative approach.

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.
