Pros

Free tuition is the best reason to work for Boeing. Whether you want a MBA, MS, JD, fancy cooking skills or to know how to make a Purple Cooter (it's a drink), they'll pay for it. There's no management approval required for any continuing education. There's no requirement to stay for any period of time after graduation, but if you get a real degrees, they'll give you 100 shares of restricted stock (vests after 3 years). Business travel is also pretty fun... aparently managers aren't accountable for budgets.

Cons

Everything else. Working for people that are less capable is horrible for long term morale.

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.
