Pros

1) Interesting projects to work on (everyone enjoys designing the next commercial airplane at least a little). 2) Vast resources available to help with your work (BCA has a group for just about everything). 3) Excellent pay and benefits compared to market competitors.

Cons

1) The workplace culture @ BCA in Everett can be EXTREMELY difficult and stressful to work in! Both the management and general rank and file are playing a role in this, but it's not clear if toxic management gave rise to the toxic environment amongst the general rank and file or vis versa. Either way current environment is very double speak heavy, poor on specifics on why the company is doing certain things, generally resistant to change, and focused in what you're behind on instead if any consistent recognition for jobs well done. 2) Good pay and benefits might not be worth it given the stress you need to endure to obtain them.

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.
