Pros

Boeing is a good company to work for. The aerospace industry is somewhat stable as a whole. Boeing has great benefits such as 100% tuition reimbursement, a great company match 401(k), matching charitable donations, and the holiday shutdown. Towards the end of the year, Boeing shuts down and employees get a week off work (from christmas to new years). Boeing also understands that the workplace is changing and they offer flexible work schedules such as 4/10, 9/80, virtual office, and telecommuting. To keep employees engaged and continuously learning, Boeing has rotation programs for employees to rotate to different fields and try new careers.

Cons

Since Boeing is a huge corporation, things tend to move slow around here. Boeing, as well as the aerospace industry, tends to be a bit more conservative so there is alot of beauracratic red tape and a lot of politicking involved. There is a big age discrepancy between the older generation and the new college hires. Sometimes these two groups do not see eye-to-eye since the older folks think their way is the best way even though there may be a more efficient way of doing the work. Something must be done to get these two groups to work together more efficiently.

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.
