Pros

Boeing has excellent benefits and offers many opportunities to develop your skills in both management and technical tracks. There are many different programs and sites to choose from if you are willing to relocate. Generally, your coworkers are very knowledgeable and helpful. Boeing is very process driven and maintains high ethical standards.

Cons

Boeing is a very large organization. Change can be slow to implement. It is difficult to distinguish yourself from the masses. Salary adjustments tend to be small, with little differentiation between high and low performers. (< 5% spread) Most of the work is predicated upon external government contracts. If they get canceled, there is a good change you will be reassigned or released.

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.
