Pros

Boeing has numerous opportunties for growth or career diversity. You can join Boeing and find numerous opportunities within the company. Basically, if you cant find a job within the company you want to do, odds are you just aren't happy in this company. Boeing goes to a lot of effort to keep people (sometimes too much), but it pays off in terms of stability and longevity of employees. Boeing's benefits are top-notch, its salaries are mainly fair, and the educational benefits are well-beyond the rest of the industry. There is a lot of knowledge within this company, and thats very neat for an engineer.

Cons

Boeing Senior Management is almost too political - they are more like politicians than leaders. Most managers are former engineers, which has its plusses and minuses. There is a shrinking knowledge of good program manager skills, and that is hurting overall program execution. I would also say that the "bean counters" are taking over - there seem to be too many people who have no idea what I do or how I do it, but who have authority to publicly criticize me for not accomplishing enough work in the time laid out for me to do it. Finally, the St Louis site is getting very stale and innovation is incredibly low. I imagine this site only has a few more good years left in it.

Pros

Challenging jobs with good engineering content. Contact with the Air Force customer. Good inter- group working relations. Fairly stable employment. Good benefits package. More often rthan not good co-operation with other groups on joint knowledge, ventures and ideas. Good internal systems engineering group that seeks out new concepts, has contact list of experts or groups to assist in design or research. Phantom Works outstanding.

Cons

Larger groups within IDS get more of the good jobs and recognition and research and development money. Posted jobs for possible transfers are really for an already selected candidate a lot of time. Not invented here syndrome with certain groups, locations, individuals which means you don't get an honest chance for new concepts, or later work..
