"I have worked for Raytheon Mission Solutions in Pasadena, CA since 2001 and found it to be innovative and satisfying place to work. The fast paced technical and web development work kept the staff energized and motivated and frequent All-Hands Meetings and Corporate Sponsored Events made the work environment feel comfortable and more intimate than most large scale companies. The JPL customer insured that there were constantly new challenges to tackle and new web media to create. All in all…. a great place to work!"

Working at Raytheon in Wichita, KS: 5 Employee Reviews

Tool and Die Maker

"My experience with this company was horrible. Worst I ever worked for."

What do you like about working at Raytheon?

"I loved my co workers. Everyone of them was first rate and you could trust they would never throw you under the bus if things went bad on a project or order."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"If you are that hard up for a job and just cannot bear the thought of leaving your beloved Wichita, go for it. But don't count on working there long. Unless you have 20+ years, you can pretty much count on being layed off more than working. If you are willing to move, Lockheed Martin is far better to work for and we are very well treated here."

What don't you like about working at Raytheon?

"I did not like the management or the politics of this company. Management constantly bullied some employees and favored others. They constantly demanded wage and salary concessions from employees after they took over a great company (Beech Aircraft) and ran it into the ground. Employees are treated like dirt and morale there is as bad as it can be. No job security and layoffs with little or no notice are the norm. Add to that the place is in Wichita Kansas which is about the worst place on the planet to live unless you like being indoors all year because the winters are freezing cold and windy and the summers are hotter than the desert southwest with temps over 100 most days. Glad to be out of that place in Georgia at Lockheed Martin now."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"My only suggestion for the management of this company would be RESIGN."
