Pros

Firstly, the products, with over 6 different commercial aircraft and 160 different military products Boeing can fill a wide variety of interests. In addition, Boeing has a global reach allowing you to move around the country or the world as your life necessitates. The benefits are also amazing when one compares them to many of today’s top industries. 100% of all education is covered, an 8% match on 401k dollars, and flex time are just a few of the things that make my quality of life here at very high. Lastly, the people I get to work with are some of the smartest people in the industry.

Cons

Because Boeing is such a large company, they have a very hard time communicating with every individual on a consistent and positive manner. Several of the mechanism that Boeing currently uses are sorely out of date and unreliable. An additional item is the not invented here mentality that some of the different Boeing sites express to Boeing people from other sites. Boeing is doing a lot to fix this issue but still has a good way to go. These two issues are very much linked, as Boeing tries to act like one company, they are still communicating like several companies.

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.
