Raytheon Employee Review

Working at Raytheon

  • Sunday, December 15, 2024
  • Goleta, CA

Pros

Good Benefits and chill work environment The pay is good and I truly have a lot of fun doing what I do. Hella good work life balance and 9/80 schedule Worked with a lot of really great people who were always trying to help and ensure I had all of the tools to succeed. Good management so far

Cons

Health benefits are poor and the promotion/raise structure is dictated by HR. For me the biggest cons are low pay and needing to go out of my way to find work. Poor work life balance only advance if you are in the good ol' boys club Actually smart people leave within the 1st year/2 because the environment does not support productive innovation/learning Really Overworked and bad management

Comments

No extraordinary benefits. Reducing employer HSA contribution next year. Nice company match and PTO policy Medical benefit continues to worsen year over year. You pay more for less coverage.

    Pros: A good Work life balance Great benefits and relocation package good pay and chill environment Overall the people I work with are great and very helpful. Good management
    Cons: Work life balance isn't that great Health benefits are awful. Low pay and does not keep up with competitors Actually smart people leave within the 1st year/2 because the environment does not support productive innovation/learning Poor management poor HR contract employees do whatever they want

    The best thing is that the company matches at a 100 percent the first year and the worst thing is that there are high copay amounts for visits. Cost increases are below industry standards. Decent benefits middle-of the road for large companies.
