Pros

-Market leading Health Insurance, but will probably go away in 2016. -Pension benefits but who knows how long those will last -Free education -You can coast your whole career if that's what you want

Cons

-Politics, especially among management. -Jobs and responsibility is so diluted, you don't develop your skills as fast here than at other companies. If you stay too long, nobody else will want value you, and Boeing knows it, so they start paying you below market. -Below market salary. -No respect and undervaluing of engineers.

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.
