Question 22 of 35

Many of our industry competitors have their employees under a non-compete contract. Are you bound by any non-compete contract with your current employer?

The interviewer would like to avoid any hurdles during the offer and negotiations stage that would prevent you from being successfully on-boarded. If Raytheon is a direct competitor to your current or most recent employer, then you should carefully review your employment contract to ensure nothing is hindering you. Be prepared to present the agreement in your late-stage interview.

      2nd Answer Example

      "I am free to sign any offer letter that comes my way as there is no such contract with my current employer. Would I need to sign a non-compete contract as a term of employment at Raytheon?"
