Pros

Leading edge defense work; good co-workers.

Cons

Since the merger, poor leadership decisions continue. With the merger Raytheon inherited millions of dollars of debt from acquired Pratt & Whitney forcing stock prices down. For some time Raytheon has been on a hiring binge and now has a standing army of hundreds of new grads awaiting assignment and charging company overhead. To avoid the overhead drain of millions of dollars a day, recently management decided to "engineering right size" by replacing senior, experienced engineers on programs with new grad engineers with no real world experience - unbelievable.

Pros

They were paying while you were under investigation for TS/SCI

Cons

0 direction while awaiting clearance Would blame you for not writing hello world programs or games... I have 30 years experience programming and do not need to do this stuff Stupid "Employee Resource" groups created division between races and genders, in combination with a highly competitive environment. Their attitude highly annoyed minorities who were good programmers. Capable people were often attacked as they were seen as threats. Death threats, vulgar speech, and tribalism were the norm... as was social manipulation (lying to bosses), stealing code/credit for work etc. The company indirectly made death threats in order to get people to turn over patents for preexisting inventions and work. They threatened indirectly in general to get people to behave as desired... as opposed to any actual leadership. People said they would bait and switch for invention awards, claim at first it was 20k for billion dollar patents, then only gave 1k. They took patents that people did not sign over anyways and reverse engineered them, then presented them to government as their own. They had onsite medical and their own MetLife team to try and prevent people from using any benefits. Any medical knowledge would be disseminated to coworkers to ridicule anyone who used benefits.
