Pros

Raytheon has interesting work and many things you can be involved with just by transferring to different businesses. You do not have to go to another company to work on something different. Right now there are plenty opportunities and variety as far as work goes. I feel the pay the benefits or good, but I am not sure how it compares with other companies. I know out of school, for the location, they offered the best.

Cons

Not enough motivation to have success other than not working weekends and no good way to bring on new ideas. I believe since all of the programs are military, new ideas seem to be looked down upon. Things ideas recieved, still be not be implemented.

Pros

Good name on resume. Good engineering company.

Cons

Too big, employees are overlooked a lot of times. Most raises (85%) are only 2.5-3.0%. It would take years to keep up with the industry your salary. After a while, you become the "working poor" if you hang out at the company too long. The career model requires you to "relocate" quite often to keep pace in your career knowledge and salary. Make certain you get a job promotion with every re-location effort. Don't establish any roots at any location. When you want to establish roots somewhere, change companies.

Pros

Raytheon company consists of innovative technology, very competent engineers, a reasonable flexible work schedule, and a good work/life balance. The benefits on the whole seem to be fairly comparable to others in the defense contractor industry in which they compete but I believe they could be better. Several of my former Raytheon colleagues have departed for better pay at other large defense contractors. I believe overall compensation could be improved in my opinion and would result in better employee retention. Aside from the slightly below average compensation, in my opinion, Raytheon still remains a good place to work and I would still recommend it as a good company for other engineers to work at.

Cons

Occasionally, feel like you get lost in the crowd because it is such a large company. No other complaints that come to mind.
