Pros
The products you work on are supporting democratic ideals. Work/life balance is valued. 9/80 work schedule. A person’s sexual orientation is irrelevant in the workplace.
Cons
The organization has swung the affirmative action pendulum so far to the Left that if you’re a female with an engineering degree you’re automatically fast tracked to a leadership position whether or not you have any ability to engineer or understand the task at hand. If you’re a minority woman with an engineering degree you walk into the org with a golden spoon in your mouth and can do no wrong. You can be hired as an engineer here with no engineering degree or even a degree if you’re a transgendered person. If this sort of discrimination against others who don’t fit into the desired social engineering mold is acceptable to you, you will love working at Raytheon. Unfortunately this behavior doesn’t create an environment that can compete against others who don’t adopt this flawed philosophy and is a large contributor to why Raytheon can’t deliver products on time and within budget. It’s also driving the attrition of the disadvantaged up.
