Pros

pay, view (if in Renton),

Cons

Management. They got rid of most of the experience, pension, benefits less and less every year. The culture in Boeing is to talk a good game and rely on the 15 % of the people that know what they are doing to get everything done. They have taken diversity to the extreme. They have diverse people hiring diverse people. I have run into DOZENS of employees that do not understand and comprehend English. Management has no clue what is happening on the floor. They walk through with blinders on praying nobody talks to them because they don't know the answer or how to fix what ever issue is brought up. They sign timecards. Union is useless.

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.
