Pros

Lots of opportunities to do lots of things without having to change companies. If you are a young employee there will be lots of opportunities within the next ten years as there are lots of people retiring. Boeing IT has lots of interesting work, but there is a cost-cutting focus. Boeing has incredible products.

Cons

Lots of bureaucracy. Primarily an engineering company so it you do other things (i.e. IT) - you aren't valued as much. Boeing IT is in a mode of dramatic cost-cutting year over year. All decisions now revolve around cost-cutting - at the expense of most everything else.

Pros

people really try to provide the best results they can; times are difficult and people tend to make the real difference - not the processes

Cons

politics, unbalanced funding, mindless cost reductions. Executive decisions are forcing management to cut or curtail needed services to meet affordability targets that are unrealistic. Then those same execs expect new and enhanced services. There is a big difference between Lean+, service continuity, and service enhancements. All are necessary, but they need to be balanced with reality.

Pros

Good pay and great benefits. Boeing's educational reimbursement benefits alone are a good reason to consider working here. Potential for long term career. Once you rise to a certain level in your group, it is unlikely you have any fear of loosing your job, regardless of your actions (for some that can be a positive I suppose).

Cons

Institutional attitudes of coworkers. People seem to be more invested in outside interests then their job performance. Little to no repercussions for poor job performance. Bizarre hiring practices. For example, in our group no potential employee is asked about their knowledge of the job. All the questions are in the vein of, "Tell us about a time you had to deal with a difficult coworker." Poor team dynamics. If a person brings up a problem in the group they are told to mind their own business. Management puts far too much emphasis on "flavor of the month" process ideology and far too little on improving core job functions.
