Pros

The benefits package cannot be beat. The work is always evolving and interesting. The work schedule is extremely flexible. It is very easy to take time for a doctor appointment or baseball game. The company is large with many opportunities for moving around and building skillsets. There is pride in working on the large scale products that Boeing produces.

Cons

Career advancement opportunities are few and far between. The upper level management does a poor job of communicating with employees. Due to fear of lawsuits, all employees are treated equally regardless of performance. Nonproductive employees are allowed to sit around doing nothing.

Pros

The benefits are the best reason to work at Boeing. My health care package and 401K are better than the majority of my friends working at other companies. Also, if you want to to get a master degree or just take random classes, Boeing pays for all of it. It is one of the best continued education programs out there. Also, when times are good, it is pretty easy to move around and get a variety of experiences. Flex-time (9-80s and 4-10s) is an additional benefit that is quite nice.

Cons

The work statement for new employees often is not very interesting. Also, it seems like management is more concerned with the years of service rather than accomplishments of an employee when considering people for promotions. I have had numerous friends leave the company for one or both of those reasons. I am not a big fan of the vacation policy. You initially receive 2 weeks per year plus 2 weeks of sick leave. If you are like me and rarely get sick, watching all of the sick leave go unused while constantly running low on vacation is quite frustrating. In the end, I think Boeing is a great company for the right type of person. If you are into having small focused work statements, without much variety, this would be a great company to work for.

Pros

There are a lot of opportunities for engineers who are starting their careers in the aerospace industry. A lot of engineers will be retiring over the next 10 years so there should be plenty of opportunities for advancement. The senior engineers are very helpful in bringing the new guys up to speed. The quality and integrity of engineering work produced is top notch. The benefits are fantastic including health care, tuition reimbursement and company matched savings.

Cons

The facilities are old and not much attention is paid to housecleaning. Things like holiday parties and company picnics are pretty much non-existent.
