Pros

Good Health Benefits, 401K 75 Percent match on first 8% employee contribution, Fair pay, Retirement plan for those who were hired before benefit was removed.

Cons

Boeing Ridley Park Philadelphia PA has some real problems with people behaviors. Very rude gritty attitude. The most Sr Executive Management VP running the place uses fear tactics on the H47 Chinook Program to drive productivity driving low morale. Lousy office building, leaky roof, filthily bathrooms, dirty carpets, Coal dust from PECO coal plant next door. Being a Manager is worst position in the place.When the economy gets better and if I have an option,I will leave.

Pros

Easy going, nice benefits, free further education (masters/PhD). Great for an engineer starting out who needs to dip their feet in the pool of engineering for a few years and to get a great 401(k) match at the start of your career (compounding growth). Great for late stage career due to the benefits and solid enough pay in a low cost of living area

Cons

pay-scale lagging, no emphasis on learning new things, no punishment for people who are bad at their job. After working for 4 years, I feel like I should have jumped ship after 2. I haven't been given meaningful work that really challenges me in a while. Now I feel pigeonholed into staying because I have enough years of experience that I really should be considered senior, but I haven't been given work that reflects what I senior engineer should be capable of. Now I'm trying to jump ship before it's really too late. If I stay here another 2 years I think I will be genuinely unemployable and will have to stay at this company forever.
