Pros

- Very good medical coverage - Lots of employee discounts for cellphone and etc. - Long Christmas vacation. - Volunteering is encouraged.

Cons

There's a lot of negatives to say about this place... - People are very rude, the common attitude is "I'm more important than you" or "I've worked here longer than you". If you have a big ego, this is the perfect place for you. - There's no such thing as merit, it's all about how long you've worked at Boeing - People are very incompetent, it makes you wonder how they managed to not get weeded out - Very conservative and political atmosphere - Salaried employees STILL have to clock in and be detailed about what they do every hour - There's no such thing as work-life balance. - There's no such thing as quality work, as everything revolves around budget/money and deadlines - Groups are very silo'ed off, it's very hard to communicate and work together with someone outside of your group - Too many road blocks to productivity, a lot of time is wasted due to overhead, like numerous meetings that always go over time, people purposely delay to make themselves feel important. - Nothing is well documented, people are very afraid of getting laid off that they keep the knowledge in the only place that's safe, with them only.

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.
