Pros

Free college education. Get it while you are there and move on.

Cons

Boeing has a senior work force ranging from 25 to 50 years. These people have been doing the same job the entire time. The Boeing workforce ,mostly seniors, is extremely threatened by new hires and will purposely set out to sabotage your work and your career. Boeing management knows about and does nothing about it. In fact, Boeing converted to Peoplesoft ERP system. The older workforce refused to learn the new accounting system, so Boeing paid the money to have a developer come in and build an interfact to feed the data from the new accounting system into the old system because their workforce refused to learn the new accounting system to do their work. Unbelievable.

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.
