Pros

If you love aerospace it's a great place to work. I have friends here who dreamed of working for Boeing their entire lives. It pays pretty well for engineers, and fairly good salaries for non-union employees.

Cons

You have to be REALLY aggressive in job-jumping to get equal-to-cost-of-living pay increases. It's hard to say whether the management in your organization is going to be good or not. A lot of the benefits that Boeing has been topping the competition with have gone away or been lessened: paying for education has a cap and other stipulations now, medical costs are rising, some of the 401K matching is changing... Not the place I signed onto after college, benefits-wise. I am leaving the company, but the main reason is that I'm not being paid enough for such boring work. People here are either under-utilized and bored to tears, or overworked and management fails to fill the staffing needs.

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.
