Pros

Boeing has so many different business areas that it is possible to try very different career paths without leaving the company. I have had many good mentors and managers who have invested in my personal and professional development. The educational benefits are also unparalleled.

Cons

It is difficult to get promotions and get noticed as a younger engineer just because there are so many baby boomers who are experts in their fields. The higher up you get, the harder it is to justify a promotion.

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.
