Pros

You get to work on, around, and with planes and their subsystems, and that is really cool. Being able to see how everything comes together, and all the work that goes in to certifying a plane is awesome.

Cons

Boeing is very slow to change. Then union attitude allows people to fight change tooth and nail, and do as little work as possible without giving a reason for them to be written up. Expect to use technology 10-30 years old at all times (in Flight Test Software). There was no time allocated to any project that was not precisely what my manager wanted done. Management seemed to want a scape goat more than anything else.

Pros

Boeing has greatbenefits. The programs you work on are often times exciting, and it's very satisfying to see your work go into the actual field.

Cons

Little communications flows downward from management. Difficult to get career advancement without "putting years in". Most of the people who work there have been there for quite some time and often just do the bare minimum to get by.
