Pros

There are many talented, smart, creative people at Boeing. If you're lucky enough to land on the right team, the people you work with can and will make all the difference. Good for people right out of college who want to get some experience before leaving to get a job where they can grow and have promotional opportunities.

Cons

If you're not in engineering, the salaries and promotional opportunities are in the toilet. Boeing is light years behind the market salaries in this area (Seattle) for a majority of job specialties. The benefits are dwindling away year after year. Many of the important benefits that first attracted me to the company are gone i.e educational reimbursement, no cost health insurance and 401k. Annual salary increases are based on Mickey Mouse math and well below cost of living for this area. Promotional opportunities are almost non-existent. The experienced employees are retiring and the mid-level and entry-level employees are abandoning ship for huge salary increases and hiring bonuses at other big Seattle companies.

Pros

Amazing team and management. There is a wealth of knowledge from multi-year veterans to tech-fellows and engineers who have been at this location since it was Douglas Jets.

Cons

Non-production facility. You don't get to see the planes come off the production-line like you would in the Seattle-area locations.

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.
