Pros

The best thing about Boeing is that they are a family type environment. I have never had an issue in getting time off to go on vacation or to handle any type of personal situation. The best thing about Boeing was the full tuition reimbursement, but they have completely altered the program, which is now capped at 15K a year and comes with a 2 year commitment

Cons

Completely bureaucratic. If you are looking to try to advance quickly then this is not the place for you. They will give you the opportunities, but the promotions and pay don't follow your increased work load. Too many people here are content just doing a satisfactory if not below satisfactory job.

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.
