Pros

1) Pay and Benefits 2) Location of Boeing South Carolina 3) We build cool stuff

Cons

1) Don't come to the South Carolina site. Boeing South Carolina seems to have turned in to the training site for executive managers. In the last 5 years, we have had 4 different VP's leading. 2)Age discrimination is alive and well at Boeing South Carolina. Employees with more than 20 years and over the age of 50 are being targeted to leave the company either through layoffs or threat retiring or getting fired. This is because long term Boeing employees generally make a higher salary. 3) The culture here is not like the Boeing culture in Washington State. We are managed my a bunch of young adults who have not quite honed their wisdom and are discriminating by age. 3) The moral here is dismal and with layoff's looming, it is just going to get worse.

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.
