Pros

Flexible work schedule. Educational opportunities.

Cons

Boeing is drastically trying to increase profits. Part of how they are doing this is hiring people into lower level jobs at lower pay and giving them higher level work. Newer, younger people jump at the opportunity to prove themselves anticipating promotions and raises that never happen. It's rigged to work this way on purpose. Performance reviews aren't individualized. Instead, you are rated against your peers in your group. This creates a very competitive environment where employees are constantly trying to one-up each other and make each other look bad while hiding behind "Boeing Behaviors". This creates a highly politicized environment that brings out the very worst in people and reduces them to acting like schoolyard bullies. You won't encounter people of soaring character willing to take the high road like one might expect at Boeing but will instead be met with gossiping, backstabbing and flat-out meanness on a daily basis.

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.
