Lockheed or Raytheon?

<p>Hello All,</p>

<p>I got offers from Lockheed in Sunnyvale and Raytheon in El Segundo as electrical engineering summer interns, but I cannot decide which one to choose. Did anyone intern for for either of these companies before? If you did, can you describe what you did and how you like it?</p>

<p>They both offer approximately the same wage. Lockheed gives 22.75 and Raytheon gives 23.83. However, Lockheed gives 1100 a month for relocation whereas Raytheon does not.</p>

<p>Any suggestion would be nice. Thank you.</p>

<p>Often times internships lead to full time job offers. Which company would you prefer to work for if it ended up being a full time job?</p>

<p>Here are some questions to ask yourself.</p>

<p>Are you interested in working in another country?
Are you interested in one area of any country?
Does one company have a great deal more varied programs going on than the other?
Do you have a desire to work on military contracts or are you against some of these programs?
Does one offer more flexibility than the other?
Does one have a better long term outlook than the other?
What excites you?</p>

<p>Get on their websites and read about their current programs. Does anything really excite you?</p>

<p>Good luck on deciding. You are lucky to have two great choices!</p>
