"A good place for professional development, but don't expect to attend conferences (no budget)"

What do you like about working at Raytheon?

"I like the fact that it is easy to move around and get various types of experience. Most of the management teams are open to help you advance your career as far as you are willing to take it. But you have to be willing to relocate if necessary because some sites don't have any room for upward growth."

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

"Ask about the leadership development programs. They are a great place to start your career within in Raytheon. Make sure to ask an HR person about the differences in the business units from a benefits perspective. Most businesses do profit sharing, but there is one that doesn't. If this is a deciding factor, you need to be informed upfront. Always negotiate for a higher salary than what is offered because you may not advance as fast as you would like. If possible, try and work on a Top Secret program to get your clearance early on. This will give you more leverage when it is time to change jobs."

What don't you like about working at Raytheon?

"Because we work off charge numbers, sometimes it seems as though the focus is on hurrying to get a job done under budget instead of actually taking time to figure out the best way to approach the problem and possibly come up with a more innovative way to solve it. I also don't like the fact that there is never enough budget to attend training or attend conferences. Also, if you are interesting in recruiting events, sometimes it is difficult to get selected to go to represent the company. They tend to want to send the people who have been in the company 20+ years (and may not even want to go) versus sending people who are within 0-5 years who are passionate about recruiting and can relate to those who will be seeking the jobs."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"I suggest that management continue to help people develop themselves and don't force employees to stay in jobs where they are not happy, this lowers productivity and morale. I also suggest that management not overlook younger employees - they too can be the face of the company."
