      Pros

      One of the few aerospace companies left in the US. Boeing is a large, and complex, so there many different technical or business opportunities (within aerospace or defense). Boeing is also the main player in global aviation, so there a plenty of international opportunities.

      Cons

      The best part of the "old" culture is being tossed out, and yet retained the it's worst business practices. Most specifically, there is to much "dead weight" within Boeing. People who exist without any consideration of business practices in any other part of industry. Mainly Boeing is too bureaucratic. When I arrived a coworker described it as similar to working for the government ... which is about right. The other big issue is a lack of excellence in engineering - I believe this is mostly due to their culture of promoting seniority (even if it is a non-degreed drafter) over talent.

      Pros

      Boeing has great benefits. They will pay for any college courses you want, whether it is a music class at the local community college or working on a new degree. The classes are not required to be related to the job. Also, the health benefits are better than I have heard of at any other similar company. Another reason to work for Boeing is the vast knowledge base of the engineers there. If you are a young engineer looking to improve your skills and knowledge of engineering what you will learn here is far better than you will in any classroom.

      Cons

      I felt like the management there has trouble seeing big picture problems. By this I mean they will be so focused on meeting schedule that they will make decisions to complete a task poorly, to check it off their schedule, and that work will need to be redone later. If they saw the big picture, they would of made a better decision a day late and saved a ton of future work down the load. I saw these kind of decisions over and over again. It's not good for moral when management works this way. Another downside at Boeing is the salary. I didn't feel like the monetary compensation was as good as it should of been. I also thought the annual pay raises were a bit low, but the amount of any raises are partially dictated by the enginnering union.

      Pros

      Early in your career, Boeing's benefits are second to none. The education / tuition assistance program is amazing- when i worked at Boeing, 100% of tuition and fees was paid for up front by the company - no maximum limit! they also pay for up to $150 per course for books. Boeing has a wide range of projects to work on as well as jobs. Lots of opportunities to see the country and live/work in many different locations.

      Cons

      Typical downsides for a big corporation. Mainly- there is lots of red tape and bureaucracy. This goes along the lines of big corporation /defense contracts. Also, Boeing is a "systems integrator," meaning they farm much of the technical work out to subcontractor/suppliers. the paperwork and "excel engineering" can be maddening at times.
