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

Excellent work-life balance compared to many aerospace companies. Good benefits (healthcare, retirement, PTO).

Cons

- Five days per week in the office - Parking can be challenging. - Working across multiple time zones (U.S., Brazil, India) creates coordination overhead - Compensation is not competitive for the Seattle area. - Limited opportunities for meaningful career growth. While there are internal career paths, I haven't found many opportunities that align with the technical challenges and responsibilities I'm looking for - SPEEA's seniority-based structure can slow advancement for newer employees - Programs have very long development cycles, so it can take years to see your work become a finished product - Less exposure to cutting-edge technology than companies focused on emerging products (space, medical devices, AI hardware, quantum computing, etc. Significant bureaucracy and slow decision-making
