Pros

The benefits are the best reason to work at Boeing. My health care package and 401K are better than the majority of my friends working at other companies. Also, if you want to to get a master degree or just take random classes, Boeing pays for all of it. It is one of the best continued education programs out there. Also, when times are good, it is pretty easy to move around and get a variety of experiences. Flex-time (9-80s and 4-10s) is an additional benefit that is quite nice.

Cons

The work statement for new employees often is not very interesting. Also, it seems like management is more concerned with the years of service rather than accomplishments of an employee when considering people for promotions. I have had numerous friends leave the company for one or both of those reasons. I am not a big fan of the vacation policy. You initially receive 2 weeks per year plus 2 weeks of sick leave. If you are like me and rarely get sick, watching all of the sick leave go unused while constantly running low on vacation is quite frustrating. In the end, I think Boeing is a great company for the right type of person. If you are into having small focused work statements, without much variety, this would be a great company to work for.

Pros

Easy going, nice benefits, free further education (masters/PhD). Great for an engineer starting out who needs to dip their feet in the pool of engineering for a few years and to get a great 401(k) match at the start of your career (compounding growth). Great for late stage career due to the benefits and solid enough pay in a low cost of living area

Cons

pay-scale lagging, no emphasis on learning new things, no punishment for people who are bad at their job. After working for 4 years, I feel like I should have jumped ship after 2. I haven't been given meaningful work that really challenges me in a while. Now I feel pigeonholed into staying because I have enough years of experience that I really should be considered senior, but I haven't been given work that reflects what I senior engineer should be capable of. Now I'm trying to jump ship before it's really too late. If I stay here another 2 years I think I will be genuinely unemployable and will have to stay at this company forever.
