Pros

Boeing can be very flexible and family friendly; depending on the organization you are with. The medical coverage, retirement plan, tuition reimbursement and pension are some of the best reasons to work for Boeing. You won't likely blaze a career or make above industry average in the IT groups at Boeing unless you have some solid relationships developed with some people in high places.

Cons

Boeing is a large corporation with a great amount of girth. First level management isn't really capable of helping you advance your career. You have to be a shining star and have some solidly built relationships with people who can effect change and are influential.

Pros

Great money and benefits. Few companies have pension funds these days. This company provides upwards of 30% of your salary in benefits. All locations have a low cost or free medical for the entire family. Motivated employees have an opportunity to get ahead. Challenging assignments with the ability to work with virtual teams. Management expectation of 40 hour week with no real need to take your work home. This place is great.

Cons

Big company bureaucracy. Several levels of review to get the product out the door to the customer. Management spends more time making sure contracts are met rather than developing employees.
