Pros

Lots of opportunities to do lots of things without having to change companies. If you are a young employee there will be lots of opportunities within the next ten years as there are lots of people retiring. Boeing IT has lots of interesting work, but there is a cost-cutting focus. Boeing has incredible products.

Cons

Lots of bureaucracy. Primarily an engineering company so it you do other things (i.e. IT) - you aren't valued as much. Boeing IT is in a mode of dramatic cost-cutting year over year. All decisions now revolve around cost-cutting - at the expense of most everything else.

Pros

Working at Boeing gives you hands-on experience on commercial aircraft, which is highly valued across the aviation and aerospace industries. Exposure to high-quality standards, FAA regulations, and precision manufacturing builds strong technical credibility.

Cons

Many assembly tasks can be repetitive, which may feel monotonous over time. Precision work is critical, so attention to detail must be maintained constantly.

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.
