Pros

Customers are amazing, and the work we do is fullfilling.

Cons

Very political. This place used to be a nice, collaborative environment with excellent benefits and strong leadeership. Now, since the merger with UTC, everything has changed. The environment has become extremely competetive and cutthroat. The leadership buckles under the slightest pressure and politics run rampant. Avoid this place if you value a positive work environment.

Stay Away

Pros

If you like this sort of thing… getting moved around a lot into multiple projects for short periods at a time, which they call "tasking."

Cons

Raytheon is a company to stay away from: badly organized, continually "reorganizing", no culture, bad communication from upper mgt, very uninvolved HR, and WAY too much continuous required "training" (annoying internal web-based coursework usually related to company policy, standards procedures, ethics, security, etc). They all pretend to be professional, when they really are not. There’s also a lot of “rumor mills”, plus “back stabbing” if you don’t kowtow. You need to always be ready to “CYA.” They terminated me due to problems that mgt had with my age vs experience, my medical issues, and leave I took, but they used the phrase “didn’t “meet expectations.”

Going downhill fast

Business Outlook

Pros

Flexible schedules for the most part with 9/80 schedule. Able to work long some days and leave early others. Good work life balance.

Cons

C-suite has turned evil and greedy and is focused on maximizing profits and all costs. They will burn the place to the ground if the stock keeps going up. They care more about stock buybacks and their own bonus than employees or the quality of their products. Rtx is the next Boeing. Only a matter of time before a a missle blows up on the wing of a plane or a turbine engine blows up midglight and people die. No longer proud of this company it's a dumpster fire. Avoid ad all costs.
