Avantages

You get generic company benefits that you can get pretty much anywhere else. Most of my team members are nice and will answer your questions to the best of their ability, but will not go out of their way to help you further than that. Specific to my team only, my scrum master was very encouraging and was good with interpersonal conflicts/issues

Inconvénients

You are pretty much worthless to Raytheon IIS until you obtain a government clearance, which means you will be sitting in an awaiting clearance area anywhere between 6-24 months (or possibly more) doing pretty much nothing (unless you get lucky enough to be pulled onto an unclassified program that is not labeled GPS OCX.) Your salary is embarrassingly low as a software engineer at Raytheon. You will be using old technology/outdated tools that are really slow and hinder your ability to do any real software development. The team size in M2C2 is way too big, and all the more interesting/critical work are given to more senior members of the team who don't have time to really mentor you into the role. Work flow is very unsteady. You may get a lot of work for a time period, and then go 1-2 weeks just twiddling your thumbs at your desk. Upper management doesn't know anything about software or testing, but know how to stress out developers by constantly asking for work statuses. There is very little collaboration among team members and many single points of failure in the team. The work office space set-up really hinders collaboration and growth, and learning/growth is very slow. It is difficult to move up and progress in your career working in this kind of environment that does not embrace innovation or enthusiasm.

Avantages

J'ai travaillé chez Raytheon pendant plus de 4 ans et j'ai eu une excellente expérience. L'entreprise m'a offert de nombreuses opportunités d'apprentissage et de croissance. J'ai été promu deux fois au cours de mon mandat dans l'entreprise et mes responsabilités ont considérablement augmenté. J'ai eu l'impression que ma direction me soutenait et m'offrait le mentorat professionnel que je recherchais. Je me suis sentie autonome et respectée pendant mon séjour là-bas.

Inconvénients

Il peut être difficile de travailler dans une entreprise de défense de cette envergure en raison de tous les processus et de la bureaucratie. Les choses peuvent évoluer lentement, il faut être patient et choisir ses batailles. Cela étant dit, si vous apprenez à travailler au sein du système, vous pouvez avoir un impact significatif ici !
