Pros

Great benefits: pension + 401k + medical/dental/vision health care at low costs. Great Learning Together Program (LTP) which will help get you advanced degrees. A lot of variety of positions available at various geographical locations. Good work/life balance as compared to other technology companies. The products that Boeing produces are vast, complex, and sometimes awe-inspiring. No where else will you get to work on satellites, space shuttle, missile defense systems, leading edge military weapons, and commercial airplanes. Some people are very bright, but some aren't. Such is the case with all large companies.

Cons

Average salaries, lower growth opportunities. International opportunities within the company are very hard to get and are normally reserved for executive level positions.

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.
