Pros

Fantastic work vs. life balance One week paid vacation between Christmas and New Years. In general PTO accrues very fast. Great location if you want to live near the beach Flex-time is always a plus Overtime is minimal, if not non-existent

Cons

Underpaid Talent level for skill fields is weak Drab work environment Heavy emphasis on "punch-in, punch-out" discourages employee collaboration and mingling Competition amongst different business groups working on similar projects Very corporate

Pros

Raytheon IIS in Garland has a reputation of having the best engineers when compared to other defense contractors and commercial companies. Most of the engineers and program mangement staff are very pleasant people to work with. Engineers are often paid overtime on programs. The work is sometimes very technically challenging. Many employees are very ethical. The health care benefit is very good. The retirement benefit for the legacy E-Systems employees is excellent, which causes mid-career and older employees to be tied down to Raytheon.

Cons

First line supervisors and managers are extremely poor at their job. Performance reviews may be performed by a supervisor/manager which the employee has had little to no contact. It is very difficult to get a promotion. Many engineers, in order to maintain their lock on job/domain knowledge, will not share any information. Engineers are responsible for networking to find their next assignment. There is almost no technical training budget for employees. The company allows family members to be in the same organizational chain of command.
