Pros

Good benefits package including several medical options (HSA, PPO, HMO) to match your family needs; opportunity to support our men & women of the armed forces; managers generally respectful of time-off & flexible with work/life balance; vacation bumps from 2 weeks to 3 weeks after 1st year

Cons

highly bureaucratic like the government; lots of layers of management; senior management sometimes doesn't make tough decisions or doesn't support junior managers or professionals in decisions they have made; few managers believe in empowerment (lots of micro-managers); promotions are rare; pay increases generally closer to "cost of living" increases; high performers don't get much higher raises than average performers; lots of nepotism (kids getting hired because parents work there).

Pros

Some good communications people ended up here for life. It is well-known for its satellite communications expertise with many MIT smarts.

Cons

It is difficult to get funding/project, daily job is undefined and un-promising.

Pros

Benefits are really the only thing that come to mind. The 9/80 and vacation and mod time are pretty reasonable compared to other large companies.

Cons

- Leaderships is smart, but not good at inspiring low level leaders to do the right things - A bunch of slightly above average people doing the wrong things - They talk continuous improvement, but its not really the mindset. Firefighting is what is rewarded, so that is what people do. - Backward accounting system incentives terrible decisions on floor. - If you miss a metric, you are often yelled at and punished. People are seen as the problem, never the system which enables mistake after mistake. - Lack of diversity. All old white men. Everyone has only worked at Raytheon their whole career. No outside perspectives. - Very political. All about who you know and who you do things for. Not meritocratic at all. Great people would likely leave this environment for faster upward mobility and more challenging positions. - Terrible on boarding process. No respect for new employees. Push managers to invest in people at the front lines, not just speak it at the senior level.
