Pluspunten
Enjoy your day-to-day work: - Fascinating technical problems with real-world impact - Opportunities to explore multiple areas of technical expertise due to flexible staffing structure Job security: - Due to the difficulty of acquiring security clearances, Raytheon is very reluctant to lay off employees. Raytheon hires staff for technical expertise rather than for specific projects, then assigns staff from that pool to projects. If a project is cancelled, Raytheon tends to reassign rather than lay off. Professional development: - Very generous continuing education tuition reimbursement
Minpunten
Toxic HR policies: - Performance-based incentives don't really exist - management can only designate a small percentage of employees as 'highly effective' each review cycle. - Getting a raise requires interviewing outside of the company and receiving an offer letter, otherwise the increase is less than inflation. - Upper management frequently issues employee surveys to 'gauge corporate culture', then ignores the feedback - Recent benefits changes following merged with United Technologies a strict downgrade from previous benefits offering.
