Pros

The compensation package is quite good and well-rounded. The healthcare is outstanding and is pretty much free for a couple and very minimal for even a large family. The most incredible benefit is the 100% tuition program for nearly any education you want with NO STRINGS ATTACHED (i.e. no mandatory payback period). Thinking about a masters in something or simply want to do something completely different? This is the place to work if you want to get a degree. The internal training opportunities are good for skill maintenance, but Boeing recently has made a lot of cuts in training for newer technologies and off-hours.

Cons

Lack of upward opportunity into management. The environment is very "old-school" in its promotions and there is a clear distinction between manager and non-manager. Very difficult to snag a first level manager position when most times you compete against several candidates that have several years of management experience.

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.
