Pros

Boeing stock is doing great

Cons

Boeing is cutting salaries and the opportunities for career growth are great if you are not male and not white. Boeing is a political animal and ultra focused on cost cutting and shuffling older workers out the door through strong arm tactics like cutting future pension valuations if you stick around. Likely there will be crying about all the retirees and not enough skilled workers so they need to pump up the H1B visa count.

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.
