Pros

Boeing has the best benefits around. 100% tuition payment (not reimbursement, they pay it upfront), wide range of healthcare choices such as blue shield, kaiser, healthnet (my PPO plan is free), and generous 401k matching. I personally have great management in my organization, but it varies throughout the company.

Cons

Opportunities for fast paced growth/promotions. There is definately the mentality, "I have been here X amount of years, you need to as well" before you can get the same promotions. One of the strict requirements for level promotions is X amount of years experience. I think it should be based on a mix of BOTH knowledge/expertice in your field and years of experience. Other downsides include old legacy systems (and the employees generally aren't technology savvy), poor mix of age demographics (a quarter of the people on my floor are at or near retirement age, while there is only a handful of college graduates), and resistance to change.

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.
