Pros

Government contractor, large company, relocation opportunities. Raytheon offers a wide variety of jobs and fields. Pay raises for time spent with the company, determined by the government.

Cons

Terrible HR department. They are impossible to get a hold of and will never call you back. Company is so large that it is managed from thousands of miles away. Took MONTHS to go through the hiring process

Pros

-Flexible in taking PTO whenever you like. -There are a lot of young engineers to form a nice social group.

Cons

-Ladder and ranking system to determine promotions and merit raises. Promotions and merit raises are determined in the previous year (ex: For 2009 year, ranking is determined Nov/Dec 2009) before performance reviews/summaries are written and conducted during (ex: For 2009, Feb 2010) for the previous year. Instead of making everyone's salaries the same, award the top performing employees better raises. -Expand educational assistance to allow engineers to obtain MBA degrees. They are the only top 4 aerospace defense contractor to restrict employees to obtain MBA degrees. -Not much flow down from section managers about job positions in other existing projects within the company in case your current project is ending and phasing out.

Pros

Nice work environment, good people, and surprisingly good lower/middle mgmt. in some areas. Its a nice place to work if you prefer to stay in the comfort zone and want a flexible 9-5 job.

Cons

Too much dead weight at top and bottom labor grades. Too many people at the middle experience level ( 5-10)leaving the company because of lack of opportunities. Also, the division has lost its technology focus and is slowly becoming an IT job shop.
