Pros

There are really good opportunities to participate in diverse projects across the site. The company has a great tuition reimbursement program and supports life-long learning. Excellent for those in technical fields and people who want to go back to school. Company promotes from within so its easy to transition into different functions. Excellent benefits and flexible hours.

Cons

There is a lack of standard processes. There should be more focus on improving processes and making them more efficient than there is on cutting costs. The hours can be long and potentially be no work/life balance

Pros

Opportunities for growth. Great satisfaction with work.

Cons

The expression "The Lazy B" definitely no longer applies. In order to meet your commitments, you must sacrifice work/life balance. Despite how hard we work, we are continually mistrusted when it comes to things like working virtually. This is a new phenomenon since the new guard of leaders joined Boeing IT.

Pros

The experience - they usually use the latest in software and manufacturing tools. There are usually excellent training resources available, even funded. The mostly cubicle office spaces, facilities and cafeteria are usually clean and decent. One can visit the major assembly and flightline areas without too much trouble to observe aircraft being built. There are some good folks in senior or knowledge positions, but you may have to discover who they are for yourself. I made some good friends there - most of my coworkers were pretty decent folks.

Cons

Typical large company politics, cronyism and nepotism. Corporate guidelines for ethical conduct appear to exist for legal reasons only - you're pretty much at the mercy of your supervisor. Sometimes you get lucky, but if you're not, you may have no choice but to quit. When I was there I saw some peers to do virtually nothing yet maintain their job or even advance while honest worker bees got meaningless trinkets and toys for their efforts. It was often a training ground for junior level employees who'd quit once they had enough experience to go elsewhere. One could be transferred to locations, distant commutes from their residence without consideration. You might wind up training your replacement - in Russia.
