Raytheon reviews

Racism in upper and lower management. Favoritism everywhere. Pretty much every “ism” you can think of shows up here. You’ll find inappropriate, condescending Tech Leads and Senior staff. A mob mentality dominates the culture. Many employees are in their 30s and 40s but display the emotional maturity and decision-making of middle schoolers. Cliques, gossip, incompetence, and backstabbing are part of daily life. Senior engineers are unmotivated, uninterested in mentorship, and offer no real support for career growth. Most were promoted through tenure, not talent. If you’re young, reasonably competent, and willing to work hard, avoid this place at all costs. The grind of LeetCode would have been worth it. I should have focused on that earlier rather than coasting here. Thankfully, I learned and leetcoded like crazy, I moved on to a new role, and I’m earning significantly more now. Overall, this workplace can derail your career and take a toll on your mental and physical well-being. Avoid it if you value your future.

The focus on adhering to project management processes associated with Agile Development far outweighed focus on the actual engineering work.
