Pros

Very large scale organization...much opportunity for different assignments., even without officially changing roles. Focus on facts and data has taken a lot of emotion out of meetings, improving decision making. Boeing's culture has produced a workforce of overwhelmingly decent, good people. Co-workers frequently become friends.

Cons

With opportunity comes complexity and even chaos. Job satisfaction depends a great deal on where someone winds up. There's been an influx of people, especially managers, from outside the old Boeing who don't share or aren't aware of the values that made Boeing a great place to work. Making someone a manager doesn't make that person a leader and where I work there's a lack of leadership. Buzzwords and catch phrases aren't the same as management and even the best metrics aren't a substitute for judgment or business acumen.

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.
