Pros

There are none for older employees.

Cons

I worked for Boeing for 10 years. I agree with the comment if you are well liked you will advance. If not you will not get any support or training. As an older employee from day one I was disrespected by younger employees and received no training or support from management. I watched more than once as manager talked negatively and disrespected older employees in staff meetings and in our daily task. Once I was given a good performance review and then a month later was told I was a poor employee even though my actions were poorly directed by management every step of the way. The last two years of my employment were among the hardest. I was put on a list of older employees to be fired. Even over heard one manger say that this was being directed to older employees. They even put a job notice out before they let employee go. I was never allowed to advance and their procedures were unorganized. Every contract I was put on was a mess that needed cleaning up. I was yelled at by younger mangers in front of my co-workers constantly. In the end I was brought in a law suit by other employees. They won their age discrimination law suite and one former employee’s condition specifically called out my name. Even though I was not part of the employee suing the company. I will never remind employment with this company.

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.
