Pros

Only pro is money is pretty good.

Cons

Don't practice what they preach. Don't train new Boeing employees, politics are extremely evident here, and it's not who you know but who you blow. They love butt kissers, yes-men, knee pad wearers, and suck-ups. Old employees with 20 or more years think their stuff doesn't stink and can do no wrong; don't like change and feel threatened by new hires that have more real world experience than they do. If you don't play by their rules of "it's always been this way" then you get black listed and don't stand a chance of going anywhere. Management Top Heavy, I mean really? Level 1-5 managers needed? Plus supervisors and leads? Boeing has way too many employees and not enough work. Lots of employees stand around and talk all day and gossip. Actual work takes less time than documented. Employees who've been there a while abuse the overtime system and bilk Boeing out of Millions each year. Unions don't work for the employee anymore, it's all about money and bribes. Each year more and more benefits get taken away cuz stupid unions won't work with Boeing to keep jobs here. No wonder they have shipped jobs out overseas. I would too if my employees were greedy, whiny babies. Old technology used to do jobs and alot of complaining by employees to improve things, but no one does anything to fix it, and those that try get knocked down. Teamwork not encouraged, no true open door policies, no training, no work instructions that actually describe how to do the jobs in detail, too much tribal knowledge so when people retire, so does their knowledge of how to do the job. Too much power tripping and control freaks there. Demoralize people all the time. Worst Company to work for. I could go on and on.

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.
