Pros

You get a paycheck, but you probably thought you were actually going to work for a real company with real leaders and a real chance for success. In fact you find out the management is corrupt ans incompetent. If you are competent your are a threat and will be shoved into a back room somewhere. All decisions for hiring ans promoting are based on Affirmative action quotes and ties to management family member. You want to get ahead have sex with a director.

Cons

Constant corrupt. No descision is made on business and economics. All decisions are made based on the leaders personal gain. They out source to higher priced workers and then claim you are higher priced becuase they put over head burden rates agianst internal (direct) workers and do not burden outsource workers. This means your total compensation could add up to $50 an hour but your job would be outsourced to someone making $60 an hour and Boeing will claim it is cheaper due to adding burden to your pay rate. Then they increase management to manage the outsourced work making your burden rate even higher. Also Boeing is not an american company it is an international company and when they talk about the tanker deal it is really two international companies bidding and Airbus would actually add more jobs to the USA then BOeing would Keep. So we should give Airbus the tanker contract.

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.
