Pros

Good work-life balance, opportunity to work with some of the greatest minds in the country, tons of learning opportunities, and company support for employee skill development.

Cons

Boeing hasn't learned from any of the severe safety issues that took place in recent history. Changing CEO won't fix this company because the infection is at the first-line management level. This company is far far away from being a company that puts safety of profits. For example, there are first-line managers who are denying promotions because there are no safety issues with the model that the individual is supporting. No safety issue means less work for that employee thus he/she cannot be promoted. This is sickening and it actually happened in 2024. Morale is very low in some teams. A lot of early career engineers are using Boeing as a stepping stone and I don't blame them. Senior engineers are always looking for voluntary layoff opportunities. Pay for early career engineers is low compared to the other companies. Benefits are average.

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.
