If you need great benefits and like standing still.

Pros

The benefits are amazing and cannot compare to any other company that I see in the market place. The course reimbursement is a dream come true and I cannot say enough about the medical and the pension. If you like doing the same job over and over again - then this is the place for you!

Cons

As an employee you do not have an idea of what it takes to get move on to the next level which only leaves riding on a managers coat-tails and breeds the kind of 'yes-men' that you only thought existed in movies. The middle-age pot-bellied white male wins the day at Boeing.

Pros

Christmas Break. Usually I have been able to actually take this time off.

Cons

The average age is older, things move very very slowly. Many bosses have worked at Boeing for a really long time and haven't kept up with technology in the outside world.

Not a bad place for a new college grad, get experience and move on after a few years.

Business Outlook

Pros

Not exactly cutting edge technology but I work with some really smart people and have learned a lot over the last few years. The pay is on par for the Seattle area and the work/life balance respected. Whlie management can sometimes have their head in the clouds regarding the current state of things, I have to say everyone has been fair. Overtime is expected when things are behind but this isn't different from any other shop.

Cons

Defense spending is down and there aren't a lot of places to go in the company right now.
