Q&A With Raytheon Technologies Employees

In bad times no raise in good times inflation at best

Every couple of years

only if there is a position change

On paper - good. In Reality - not so good.

Depends on the project. I've swinging both extremes, 40 hrs a week at the office to 85 hrs in a week during integration.

Great, like more IT roles hours can very depending on the project but if authorized for over time you can either bank time off or get paid.

Very. Very poor

It’s generally OK but there’s a lot of work to do. People aren’t worried about their jobs like other companies in the sector, they’re just overwhelmed by the amount of stuff going on.

Not good! I’m looking for a way out now.

Secure for low but there’s always the undercurrent I’d rank and rating going against you if you’re not one of the popular kids.

Very secure.

Here's the truth... if you can become someone that gains an expertise over a given area.. say become a Subject matter expert. You have a strong place that the company will keep you and not toss you. If you are one of many, you'll easily be asked to go and move to something new, and maybe that might be something you don't like. At this point you don't have a choice, and you may be terminated. I would say if you are willing to play ball with the company you have a job for a long time. If you you only do java, and everything say is moving to C embedded and you can't adjust. Good bye!

3 weeks PTO standard after your first calendar year. Use-or-lose (so everyone uses and it’s a pretty hard management no-no to tell people to not take vacation)

Excellent after five years

Vacation is okay. The first year you don't get much but increases after that. The hours are flexible depending on your role and assignment.

It used to be good but now it’s cut throat and people aren’t respected.

Fallacy of hard work pays iff

Busy!

I used to love it when it was t overloaded, over processed and managers were decent people

The work is really interesting if you’re in the right groups. I’ve been lucky but they also encourage you to go find stuff you’d rather be doing than what you are. It’s pretty flexible and dynamic.

Benefits and descent salary

Very poorly.

Not awful.

Business

Business casual is the right choice for all jobs

Seems that you get penalized for working from home

Has to be approved by the supervisor. A lot of jobs don’t qualify.

Promotions are based on longevity and excellence in your engineering domain.

Performance and (slightly) time in previous level

Couple years

Annual. How much varies quite a lot based on performance.

Very aggressive

Pretty fast in many areas.

The end of the day

Interesting/challenging work.

Very little innovation fun challenges. The challenge is in managing the extra projects that you have to do along with the heavy work assignments.

as Much as I want to be. There is always stuff to do, you just have to decide to take it on or not.

9/80 weeks

Nothing earth-shattering. Free access to a lot of Boston area museums is probably unique but aside from that it’s pretty standard

Cubicles, mostly outdated .

Open floor plans / scrum areas are the new normal.

It's there but still hidden with the undercurrent of discrimination

It’s not bad. Definitely leans white and male but pretty diverse in some departments.

That is need to reserve trust and watch my back more than usual

First year PTO is 100 hours but pro-rated. You basically won’t be able to take much time off that first calendar year.

Lots of work, not enough seasoned workers

I don’t know where the difficulties are, I’m seeing a ton of growth on many fronts.

Difficult

I was married and had no problem.

Over all it is a great place to work.

Give the managers more training on how to get along with one another and support their direct reports.

Overworked, stressed and looking for new jobs

They were wonderful and extremely hard working.

The usual

Full

Used to but they cut out the employee social group a long time ago.
