Pros

Early in your career, Boeing's benefits are second to none. The education / tuition assistance program is amazing- when i worked at Boeing, 100% of tuition and fees was paid for up front by the company - no maximum limit! they also pay for up to $150 per course for books. Boeing has a wide range of projects to work on as well as jobs. Lots of opportunities to see the country and live/work in many different locations.

Cons

Typical downsides for a big corporation. Mainly- there is lots of red tape and bureaucracy. This goes along the lines of big corporation /defense contracts. Also, Boeing is a "systems integrator," meaning they farm much of the technical work out to subcontractor/suppliers. the paperwork and "excel engineering" can be maddening at times.

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.
