Pros

Good pay and benefits - great place to work if you have family in upper Management.

Cons

In my department, Facilities, there is a lot of favoritism and nepotism, among the Management. Childhood friends are protected despite overwhelming evidence of poor performance. There are very talented people who go nowhere with their careers due to politics, and I believe the organization has suffered as a result. We have a lot of Managers who are the children of former or current Boeing upper Management.

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.
