Pros

The benefits at Boeing are very good, including 401K match and the people that you work with are mostly great.

Cons

Good salary coming in, once your in they don't care about you anymore. Raises tend to be low and promotions are almost non-existent, while workers are working well above their levels. Managers are terrible and are rotated regularly after terrible performance at their posts. There are also far too few experienced people as they lay off top level engineers to replace them with entry level engineers.

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.
