Vantaggi
Some programs are less toxic than others. I had a good experience with a smaller program, but the toxicity of Raytheon was more evident when I was moved to a larger program.
Svantaggi
Sexual assault, even in its most vile forms, is covered up by HR. I ran to the HR department after I was assaulted looking for refuge but I didn’t realize that they use my vulnerability and tear filled eyes to manipulate me into signing papers saying I wouldn’t press charges. They told me that if I wanted the man prosecuted I had to sign the papers. It was a lie, but I took their word for it and didn’t read the papers until days later. When a second incident happened I went to HR, this time I wasn’t going to be victimized twice, and they apologized for the earlier dismissal of my concerns and when I asked about the HR person by first name and description they said no one by that name every worked there. They took my statement and I told them I wanted to press charges. Two days later, my skip level boss and assailant, told me I was moving to a new assignment where I would be sitting just across from him. He made my life hell by having his three direct reports micromanage and question everything I did. They even interrogated me about every person I talked to and if I had romantic feelings for them. I finally told one of them to eff off and I was immediately fired. It clearly states that vulgarity is grounds for dismissal so I had no leg to stand on. I spent a year being physically and sexually traumatized, being lied to by HR and harassed by my monster’s goblins. It is a wonder I made it through alive.
