Pros

(1) A lot of internal opportunities within Boeing to transfer teams across multiple states. (2) Total compensation package (401k, HSA contributions, 100% tuition assistance, solid base pay for my years of experience, low monthly health insurance deductibles) (3) Management supportive of my career goals (I know this can be dependent upon your manager.) (4) Excellent work/life balance.

Cons

(1) Since this is a large corporation, there will always be bureaucracy, standard corporate training, and other meetings not related to your current job responsibilities. (2) In certain scenarios, it's easier or the only way to receive a promotion by transferring within Boeing, rather than waiting within your current team and putting in the time to receive the same promotion.

Pros

1. Tuition coverage plan (called LTP) is amazing. If you want a MS or PhD in a technical field, Boeing will pay for all of your classes and materials (not a reimbursement program like most companies). However, you owe Boeing 2 years after your graduation date- otherwise you have to pay everything back. 2. Traditional medical plan is inexpensive, with a lower deductible 3. Better than average PTO plan 4. Company recognition means it is a good name to get on your resume

Cons

1. Great place to start your career as a recent college grad, and great place if you are happy with an OK salary and plan to coast. Company does not recognize or promote employees based on work load or work ethic; employees are asked to do P4/P5 work but get paid as a P1/P2/P3 if you are lucky. Salaries are much less than what you see in the private sector. Cost cutting efforts are focusing on taking away employee benefits (promotion opportunity, lower salaries, no more pension, medical plan slowly getting worse, etc.) instead of addressing the real issues (paperwork and supplier management costs)- the employees suffer. Many younger high potential employees are leaving due to lack of career growth or promotions. 2. Huntsville technical fellowship is a good ol' boy club; no support for minorities and no interest in diversity 3. Low salaries compared to other companies of the same type (LHM, NGC, etc.).
