Pros

Some benefits, really cool products built.

Cons

Want a career where you choose your jobs? Not here. There are near constant reorganizations. Want to be promoted? Sorry, also not the place for you unless you are right out of college. Salary increase? Oops, that only comes with promotions. Same manager who wants to help you achieve your career development? Sorry, you'll go through an average of one new manager every 6-8 months. In the past 10 years, either health insurance premiums have either gone up, or the benefits covered were reduced. Save yourself the trouble. The only thing "cutting edge" about Boeing is the ingrained level of taking advantage of employees while simultaneously making you grateful you survived**this** round of layoffs. "One Boeing" doesn't exist...Your pay and benefits vary by which of the 80+ unions, or locations, or business units you support. Even though the merit rating scale includes a "far exceeds" it is so mythical that no one I have met (including those working two levels above what they are hired as) has achieved one.

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.
