Pros

Boeing has a great benefits package, the culture in the office is relaxed and unstressful, and you have the opportunity to meet a lot of people.

Cons

The promotion process is horrible. It doesn't matter how hard you work, just how long you've been in your job. There is no incentive to work hard at certain levels. People will get promoted just because they've been in a position for so long and are getting close to the far end of their salary scale. Aside from that, Boeing went a few years without hiring college graduates and you can now see the age gap throughout the company. There are young people, but they're so spread out. Therefore, some young people might not have the opportunity to work with many people close in age.

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.
