"Work environment at Raytheon in Tucson is, simply said, ugly and horrible. Huge open noisy areas with dozens of computers with no privacy, windows, or internet access. On the top of that, they keep rooms ice cold so we had to wear jackets and winter caps all the time while inside. Managers will spin and blame on you their faults. Sometimes, they do not even explain what exactly we are supposed to do, so you have to keep asking same questions over and over. Every day I was at useless meetings. One thing all the managers at Raytheon are very good at is making Powerpoint presentations. Upper and mid level management are the same people that just rotate every 1-1.5 years. Performance reviews are designed to discourage hard working employees. Raytheon is not for anyone who is ambitious, or young, achievement driven engineer, or anyone white. They are so into affirmative action which is beyond any normal reasons."
"Early career better, growth and common sense lost at middle management."
