Decent Opportunity, Uncertain Future - Senior Systems Engineer Raytheon Employee Review

Since the UTC merger, Raytheon has become shareholder & profit driven. Raytheon is the next Boeing.. - Large siloed organizational structure that stifles innovation and doesn't allow for any flexibility in terms of priority, design, or approach. - There is a fair amount of dead weight that gets passed from program to program and never let go. In the various teams I was a part of, there is undo stress put on the top performers of the team as certain member's underperformance imbalences leaderships perspective on the productivity of the team. The top performers of these teams do not see increased opportunity or salary and can often get stuck in a position because of their capabilities, denying the employee of other opportunities. Retention is especially low among top performers. - Uninformed leadership that often prioritize their image/the program's image over the quality of the product. - Raytheon is comfortable with asking employees to work mandatory overtime & weekends for extended periods of time, upwards of 2 years for the program I was a part of. - Hostile culture, little prior planning from management. The priority is whatever current "fires" are active.
