Raytheon Missile & Defense in Tucson is a safe, clean and well paying employer.  The work balance is great too.  Monday through Friday primarily is great.  If you are someone who takes direction and can go forward and work then you'll do great.  If you need lots of coaching and direction then Raytheon, engineering side, will be a challenge.  On the hourly side Raytheon is a more rigid and strait forward job.  I would say, easy, maybe even boring.  if you want to just do your work and go home, non salary (hourly) jobs are the place.  If you have the credentials and can work salaried jobs you can make good money.  However, its you who will determine your success.  Don't expect management to hand you a career.  You'll need to move as needed within Raytheon to help you with pay increases and promotions.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
10 hour shift 4 product lines 35+ headcount. Mostly moving in and out of my pls to ensure. Teams are on track being productive and within compliance.

The typical day is laid back and fun if you enjoy assembly work. I learned how to solder and properly cable things. Management is always changing but when I worked there it was great. The hardest part about the job is probably downtime. The most enjoyable part of the job is observing the final product and seeing your hard work visually, putting anything together there or having the hours fly by while soldering, and also the team work if you are lucky.

Due to Covid 19 this company showed me although they talk about inclusiveness they do not. They do not care about a persons religious beliefs or differences. They push their totalitarian ideology. If you don’t agree with their narrative, it doesn’t matter your length of service or dedication to your job. Be careful here. The work environment with other coworkers is toxic. Very backstabbing. 

I'm glad to have had the opportunity to work here. Every person I've met across all levels has been helpful, respectful, and kind which can be an extremely rare thing in large corporations. The biggest challenge is job security and the ability to feel comfortable amidst a lot of incessant organizational change.

RTX BBN Technologies is an amazing place to work for an internship, and especially for a full-time job! Flexible scheduling, great pay, amazing co-workers and an overall amazing work-place environment!

Continually improving systems to exceed Customer expectations is a daily goal.  Learning new intrinsic technologies is also a continual  achievement of satisfaction.  The improved system technologies we daily provide is definitely a reason to appreciate conquered expectations! 

Could be an ok place to work but depends on who you work for and how good you make them look. Good for early career but if you are experienced go elsewhere as you may be enthusiastically encouraged to do follow a path they think is beneficial that may be counter productive or undesirable. 
Lots of nepotism

The main reason I left is dried up overtime. It's a good job if you don't want to do overtime. My commute is also long, and I wanted to attend college; none of those are flexible with them.
