Pros

The folks at Boeing really do care. I've seen, repeatedly, and not just when it came to their treatment of me, how they've been for one another - almost family. I needed a total hip replacement. Not once did they make me wonder about whether my job or the people I was working with would be there when I came back 2 months or so later. The company is built around mutual respect, and I couldn't be prouder to recommend them as an employer. It might start at the top; maybe not. But no matter where it starts, it's real. Go Boeing!

Cons

Downsides include the unwieldliness that comes from any huge organization. A lot of effort to make sure that everyone is happy can sometimes lead to over-sensitivity. But even here, they never come off as heavy-handed. If political correctness has to exist, these folks do it really well.

Pros

Amazing team and management. There is a wealth of knowledge from multi-year veterans to tech-fellows and engineers who have been at this location since it was Douglas Jets.

Cons

Non-production facility. You don't get to see the planes come off the production-line like you would in the Seattle-area locations.

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.
