Pros

Hard working engineers. Challenging projects if you find the way to do things without resources.

Cons

Managers are just like politians, everybody is friend of somebody, just do a simple google search "finmeccanica"+"corruption" and you ll see what happened in India, Africa and Panama, C level people changing too much. They know a lot about cooking or clothes, but very bad at working.

Pros

Working in Aviation/Aerospace is exciting. The best part of my job is the pride you feel in seeing the finished product and showing it off to people when the opportunity presents itself. Some opportunity for travel if you find yourself in the right situation/department. They do have great medical & dental benefits.

Cons

No job rotation and career development opportunities are scarce. I personally came from another manufacturing environment; however, I did not have a great knowledge of Aviation. It would have been nice to have some type of orientation program that introduced an employee to the company and aviation/aerospace in general. Management takes forever to do anything because HR presence is non-existent & approval form our Italian brothers & sisters is always required.. Get your money when you are hired, because raises are non-existent. If you are a top performer, you may receive 3% per year. According to HR, the average raise for the company was 2% last year but I know many who received less. There is no merit based bonus structure. Poor work/life balance as there is no "work from home" option and the plant in Philadelphia has closed 1 time for a half day during my 4 years. Any employee who is not a Senior Manager or above has to clock in/out; even if they are salaried. No flexibility in doing 9 hours Mon-Thurs & leaving early on Friday.
