Pros

Benefits are virtually unbeatable (401K, Pension, Full tuition reimbursement, medical, dental, OT, schedule flexibility, vacation time). Relatively simple to transfer to other available opportunities. The Houston Location is a great place if you want to be involved in systems integration and project management, or are more interested in the human factors and concerns of space exploration.

Cons

The Houston site is not really an ideal location for aspiring Technical Design engineers. Most of that happens in California, Washington State and Pennsylvania (depending on whether you're interested in R&D, Commercial planes or rotorcrafts respectively). I would recommend this site as a good "way in the door" if you're having trouble getting to those other locations as it's relatively easy to transfer within Boeing.

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.
