Pros

Not a lot of intelligent engineers here, so it isn't hard to look like a pro. 100% work/life balance because you can come in and do nothing all day and get away with it. Actually, you don't even have to show up to work and charge for a full day, because your managers are going to be non existent. Benefits are pretty decent, although they are working on removing that perk. They've tripled the healthcare cost recently and are lowering the life insurance coverage. Really hard to come up with more pros....

Cons

I was hired on to Boeing as a Senior Software Engineer, only to quickly find out that Boeing doesn't have a clue what software engineering is. They tend to farm most of their software work out, so I've languished away in a cube for 5 months. I feel that I have developed PTSD from the smell of coffee and broken dreams. At some point, you're going to think "Man, I'm really not pulling my weight around here and just don't get what's happening." Then, you'll find the ashes of the last poor soul that sat in your cube and you'll realize it's not just you, it's the worthless environment you've been shoved into. Even if you found the strength to try and succeed here, the politics and constant backstabbing will take care of that quickly. To add to all of that, they have this Go4Zero movement where they shove safety crap down your throat constantly. They want to yell at you if you take a phone call while you're standing on the sidewalk, but don't say anything about the hazards their worthless union employees are creating from the construction they are doing on site. Trust me, you'll get sick of it. All in all, if your career goal is to come to work, be miserable, and die, come to Boeing. Otherwise, go somewhere else... literally anywhere else is better.

Pros

Good resources to learn and great future to the company as well to employees.

Cons

I need to write a whitepaper on Boeing India HR (Bangalore), Example 1: They never; ever reply to any email, even their mangers and their managers. I don't know it seems like we need to contact CEO of Boeing. Example 2: every one gets emails about pls do refer, and after referring they make sure you don't get any referral bonus. (they might be having some benefits it seems) Example 3: They never support the hiring process for a selected candidate, he has to follow up daily and even though they don't respond. (they always looks super busy, but out come will nil) one of my friend selected and because of HR delayed processing he rejected his offer though its a good package. (always package doesn't hold the people, they need some respect too)

Pros

Benefits are passable for the most part

Cons

Everything else. Listen, if you're a new Engineering student about to earn your degree, you can do much, much better than Boeing. This place has turned into an accounting firm. It's always schedule and cost over quality. Always. Don't believe the platitudes about how safety is the highest priority. It's rubbish. The Executives perform that song and dance to the media, but in the trenches, managers will nix any and everything that gets in the way of their precious metrics. It doesn't matter if it enhances safety for either manufacturing operations or the customer, if it adds time to the production flow, off to the bin it goes. Nothing currently in the news is a surprise to those of us on the inside. Absolutely nothing. The 1986 Space Shuttle Challenger disaster was a case of management overruling engineering, and the practice is alive and well at the big B, failing MCAS systems and random door plugs flying off and all. So again, to you budding, bright-eyed and hopeful engineering grads out there, might I suggest one of Elon Musk's companies. Or perhaps Airbus. Boeing is kaput.
