Pros

The benefits are EXCELLENT. Interesting Projects to be involved with. Great training and library resources. Required corporate training is well done so it is not boring and at times is actually enjoyable to watch. Fun Boeing Sponsored Events outside of work.

Cons

Poor resource/employee management- layoffs can and will come out of nowhere. It is difficult getting face time with management team. Salary offers are very low with little room for negotiation.

Pros

Boeing is pretty good company to work for. The pay is pretty fair, the work/life balance is pretty fair, and the benefits are pretty good. There are a lot of opportunities to learn. The managers appreciate hard workers and competence. Overall it's a great place to get your foot in the door and take advantage of all the learning opportunities.

Cons

Overall the company as a whole does not value talent. The executives have an attitude that everyone is disposable. It's definitely not the place to stay long though if you are ambitious.

Pros

Boeing has been good to me - I hired on 22 years ago as a flight line mechanic, transferred to planning and then to engineering and finally to project and program management. Their learning together program and tuition reimbursement paid for me to finish my BSBA, and is paying for my Masters degree. They also allow me to take webinars to maintain PDU's for my PMP. Their on-hour training earned me a Masters Certificate from Stevens Institute in PM, and an advanced certificate in PM from Stanford. That training also prepared me to sit for, take and pass the PMP exam. Pay growth has been steady at 3-5% annually. Special recognition is available for high performers.

Cons

Some managers are uptight, rigid and pains in the arse. Some would not get a brain fire put out with excess urinary content. Others - I'd follow to hell and back. Poor managers reflect biases in annual raises and stifle pay growth. HR and Ethics office more interested in protecting status quo than righting wrongs. Peter principle is in effect and Boeing is the birthplace for this phenomenon. Senior McD managers have pillaged the company and there is a war between old BA and McD management raging leaving the workers in disarray trying to design, build and deliver the best airplanes in the world.
