Pros

Challenging work, often on the cutting edge of technology. Great teamwork, highly motivated workforce. Freedom to think creatively. Many recent improvements to remove barriers to efficiency.

Projects are sometimes setup with unreasonable schedules which results in long hours to meet deadlines. Sometimes encouter basic issues, common to large companies, such as bureaucracy and resistance to change.

Pros

Great growth expected in the next few years. Fresher management is great for promoting new ideas, but redevelopment and reorganization of the engineers caused a lot of confusion on new job responsibilities. Benefits are great, salary is high especially for the area, and above all you contribute to the success of our products and safety to our troops.

Cons

Sometimes it is too big to get the right answers. As a new hire, this is especially frustrating, with no "product directory" to know who to call when you need an answer about a particular product line. Depending on your manager, sometimes the desire to move around is looked down upon. My manager strongly encouraged rotating in both design and manufacturing before settling into one area, but another manager was harsh when a coworker wanted to move areas after 18 months.

Pros

Doing actual technical work. Getting hands on experience. Hughes legacy in El Segundo. Raytheon matches 4% of 401k without a vesting period. The annual bonuses of roughly 1.5-3.5% are small, but they are something. The week off between Christmas and New Years is very unique to the Aerospace industry. The company values Technical expertise as much or more than Managers.

Cons

Lost as a number. Management always talking about slim training budget.
