Pros

The benefit package is wonderful. It's one of the last companies to still have a pension plan AND a 401K. Depending on your department, they are flexible with work and family balancing. Communication in such a large company is a challenge. Departments don't seem to talk to each other even when they need to. Some areas of Boeing rely on ovetime to get jobs done. In that regard it is difficult to plan weekends ahead of time if you are in one of those areas. Boeing is terrific at paying for your college education, but they won't help you put it to use once you get that degree. I've never understood why.

Cons

The lack of accountability in management. Bad managers are allowed to continue to be managers. Why? Our organziation has been reorganized 4 or 5 times in the last four years. Each time we get a new manager and new expectations. A lot of the reorganizations are a result of some Gartner study that says all IT organizations should align this way. Just as we get the latest reorganization under our belts, we get reorganized because it's not working as management had planned. I understand the need for change to be leaner and more productive. However some of the latest reorganizations make no sense and are not any leaner than we were before.

Pros

the industry is constantly changing and the business environment changes in an even faster pace. the company is quick to adjust and welcomes change. there are also tons of different opportunities around the company. if you don't like your current job, then there's probably a different job in a different field that may interest you.

Cons

too much emphasis is placed on diversity and not as much emphasis of getting the right people in the right positions. with a disproportionate number of younger people coming into the company as compared to the number of those nearing retirement, there seems to a looming uncertainty regarding what the future holds.
