Pros

High salary, great benefits package, educational reimbursement, etc. In terms of benefits, Boeing is second to none. They do this mainly to encourage young talent to make the transition to the Los Angeles area, when in reality, if these people looked at the housing prices and cost of living in Los Angeles, they would turn right back around.

Cons

Always in a state of flux in terms of job security. Not very interested in advancing the little guy. This is a very old culture, and there isn't much willingness to change, as a lot of these guys are just sticking it out until retirement.

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.
