Pros
-Incredible level of flexibility and work life balance. -A culture of compassion and understanding for family and life related events. - Wonderful co-workers with managers and leadership who put your livelihood above anything else. -Solid health care benefits, high 401(k) match, lucrative PTO and time flexing. -Meaningful work and decent career flexibility.
Cons
- Abysmal IT infrastructure tied to horrific approval processes and lead times. - Terrible salary progression for inexperienced and timid engineers. - Endless chair-warmers who spew jargon for a living. - Overly political leadership. Saving face here is often more important than owning up to problems. - Not good for young creative thinkers willing to work their hearts out. Boeing is a very old, mature business, that focuses on stability. This is great for experienced engineers who maintain a family and are satisfied with their careers. However, this culture is soul crushing for young ambitious engineers.
