Presumably a similar sized company to Raytheon :-)

Some interesting stuff here

Web opinion seems divided - ceryanly some unhappy campers in the mix.

And some happy
 "I worked for Raytheon for two years and I loved it. It's a great
place to work and the employees are generally hard-working and helpful
to eachother. If my contract hadn't ended, I'd still be there. I
regret taking another job for a higher salary."

and

I worked for Raytheon for 2 yrs in Iraq. They are better than most
companies I have worked for. I have to say they treat their people
pretty well. They are a large company, good bennies and vacation
package. If you didnt get a response to your resume then maybe you
need to put some better keywords in it. they are not interested in
teaching someone to be functional. If you are not what they are
looking for then you will not get a response. They also are not in the
clearance business, I had a TS when I went to work for them.

and

My husband works for Raytheon and loves it. The work is challenging
and utilizes every skill he possesses. They seem to value their
employees, definitely much more than where I work. I always tell him I
want to work at Raytheon.

and

Oh by the way, Raytheon is a great company to work for based on
history and their current 2009 rating by Computer World =93Best Places
to Work 2009=94 as my current sponsor would attest. I will keep applying
at every opportunity.

YMMV - and clearly some find them less than ideal. But, many also don't.
