Pros

Challenging, New Technoligies, 401K, Feeling of accomplisment. I really enjoy working here.

Cons

Hard to get promoted, raises are around 2-3%. Lots of policies/procedures sometimes makes getting things done difficult. Job security depends on who is in office. Multiple layoffs. Heavily favors / promotes GLBTA over other minority groups.

Pros

Good pay and benefits. Stable.

Cons

bureaucracy. it is an engineering company so the engineers are treated well and get promotions even into the business side. Hard to move up if you're not an engineer.

Pros

Can be a terrific place to work for technical people if you are hired in at the start-up phase of a program.

Cons

Let's be honest and call requirements work for what it truly is: secretarial work. Raytheon's SADID (Systems Architecture) directorate is drawing too heavily on requirements workers for promotion, and you end up with managers who don't have a good grasp of engineering fundamentals running various programs. There is still an alternate path to management available via software integration. However, software integrators are similar to requirements workers in that they also do not have to understand math or engineering principles to do their jobs. Since Raytheon's main "deliverable" for the various elements of the GBR/etc radars are new software builds, it makes sense to promote some software integrators into management, but they still need technical oversight via real engineers. Watch for cronyism: when layoffs are looming, preference will be given to those who started their careers at Raytheon.
