Pros

Outstanding programs and technologies. Excellent people to work with. Very open culture. The culture is very friendly to technology-focused people. Generally an engineers culture. I am finding out that the compensation package at Boeing is generally superior to other industry competitors. The benefits are pretty good as well. Fully paid medical/dental, pretty good insurance benefits and a generous company match on 401K.

Cons

Big company = big bureaucracy. Slow tempo of projects due to government contracting and complexity of projects. Non-technical people may not feel at home in the technical culture. Also, there are limited advancement opportunities for non-technical folks. All senior managers are 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.
