Pros

Quoting another reviewer here: "Reasons to work at Boeing: 1) you want your advanced education fully-paid by the company 2) you have external activities that require a lot of time and you do not need work interfering 3) you just need a paycheck 4) you are incompetent and cannot cut it working intelligently or effectively elsewhere"

Cons

Lots of incompetent managers, employees, and contractors. Too many employees who do not like what they do but stay because of low expectations from them. Lack of tools, vision, planning, processes, and innovation. Good benefits are distributed to all evenly (not based on the individual contribution) and so the base pay cannot be used to attract and retain a good talent.

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.
