Pros

- Relocation packages for working level employees - Quantity of locations from which to work - Decent Tuition Assistance for STEM fields - Improving Intern programs - Top level executives are above average - Work/Life balance above average

Cons

- Salary well below average - Continued cutting of benefits, health care plans/options - Ongoing contraction of overall headcount having significant impact on retaining good talent - Horrendous Middle Management - Promotions based on who you know, not what you do - No exit interview process - people are currently leaving the Company in significant numbers and no one asking why on the way out - Significant levels of bureaucracy crushes any vestige of creativity or ability to improve on a very large number of processes and procedures - No places for growth in current environment If you are a young person considering joining Boeing, look elsewhere. This is not the time to be joining the company and there are few, if any, opportunities for growth in the near future.

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.
