Pros

I get to specialize and become a true expert in a given area, Boeing Co. Is very supportive in ensuring eveyone is properly trained.

Cons

I do not get to be involved in a project from inception to full product. Also, I am only involved in a small specilized area of the whole process.

Pros

The work is very interesting and can be challenging. The real customer is the american soldier and you can't get much better than that as a inspiration to do a good job on the products. There has been some movement to make life a bit easier (i.e. reduction of no value added tasks) but things change very slowly in a company this size.

Cons

There is almost no hope of advancement above grade 4 or first level management. The average age of employees is mid fiftys most of whom have achieved grade 4,5 or 6 already. It has been announced that, short of a holy dispensation from both the Pope and the Dalai Lama, nobody grade 4 or above gets a promotion. In addition, although growing the business in new areas is the big push right now there is almost no available cash to invest in anything new.

Pros

Good benefits, more focused on its employees than many companies. Tries very hard to be fair in all things with its people. Easy to move around within the company.

Cons

There is a large amount of bureaucracy in Boeing, created by being such a huge company and the need to have common standards. It is very frustrating when good opportunities are missed because processes take so long.
