Pros

Boeing makes great products that are the best in the industry. This is the result of its dedicated and talented workforce.

Cons

Being such a large organization, it is difficult for information and idea sharing. Sometimes the metrics used to gauge our success get in the way of effective communications across organizational boundaries. Also, innovation is stymied by a risk averse work culture. This is a general characteristic of the aerospace industry, but prevents Boeing from being a true industry leader.

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.
