Pros

Competive pay, great benefits, plenty of opportunities. If you don't like the job you are doing you have the chance to move to a different fairly easy, and are encouraged not to stay in one job to long. I have a no cost health care plan, and haven't had to pay a dime for health care since i've started and i just had a child. Sorry I take that back I have had to pay a 10 dollar co pay when going to the pediatrition, but thats it so far. Good 401k and pention plan as well as other perks.

Cons

There are a lot of boring jobs, but it is easy to move from one position to the next so its just a matter of finding one you like.

Business Outlook

Pros

Outstanding programs and technologies. Excellent people to work with. Very open culture. The culture is very friendly to technology-focused people. Generally an engineers culture. I am finding out that the compensation package at Boeing is generally superior to other industry competitors. The benefits are pretty good as well. Fully paid medical/dental, pretty good insurance benefits and a generous company match on 401K.

Cons

Big company = big bureaucracy. Slow tempo of projects due to government contracting and complexity of projects. Non-technical people may not feel at home in the technical culture. Also, there are limited advancement opportunities for non-technical folks. All senior managers are engineers.

Pros

there are some amazing benefits, im talking pension, full medical, dental, vision, pay 100% of education NO MATTER WHAT, no questions asked, that in and of itself is an amazing benefit. Large company with many job opportunities across the U.S. including Seattle, Southern Cal, Chicago, Mesa Arizona, St. Louis, and Philly. widely diversified with defense and commercial products means the company should be around for a long time, no matter the economic swings or what political party is in power. This company seems to care about there employees.

Cons

large company means a lot of competition in moving up the chain of command. Also Boeing seems to be somewhat behind the times in some sites and very set in their ways. For example, some sites no matter what you have to have 10 plus years of experience before management is awarded.
