Pros

Lots of great co-workers (before they all got laid off).

Cons

Boeing, IBM, GE, HP, etc. will all collapse due to the obsessive-compulsive focus on share price which has burdened them with too much debt. Boeing just announced that it will increase share buybacks to 20 billion. No wonder they are cutting benefits and fighting raises. The debt now exceeds its equity levels by over two-times, which means for every $1 you invest, the company owes more than double of that to debtors! Yet the company lavishes money on the insiders through share buybacks while cutting everything else to the bone. They are even selling buildings and land in the Seattle area to raise money for share buybacks, with absolutely no regard for all the troubles this creates for the employees due to commuting issues (ask the Bellevue employees and you will get an earful).

Pros

benefits overall were pretty decent

Cons

Almost too myriad . So many personalities with personnel issues which were left to fester for far too long by indecisive ,ineffective Managers. You could easily be on the receiving end of some truly demented and troubled personalities. I observed : a hiring process where ~9 minority candidates in a row were interviewed and hired yet not one observable asian, caucasian ,hispanic , candidate was finally selected . A "diversity moment" (IE- monthly indoctrination sessions) which you were forced to attend to bang the merits of the diversity drum . A minority female who was hired without a degree despite the job requirement necessitating a degree and hired at the top of the position $$ range . A female manager who routinely received exceedingly poor/failing employee evaluations but was yet kept in her management role . A female who was found having sex on the property during work hours (2x) ...yet was just given a 2 week suspension. Age ,race and gender biases were routinely observed and remained unresolved . HR reps who lied after problems were brought to their attention. HR who fed highly sensitive confidential information as gossip to non HR coworkers. Managers who routinely could not be reached. Boeing was THE worst organization I worked for in my entire career as it pertained to management abuses, inequity of treatment, racial bias which favored minorities, age discrimination, gender bias, and relinquishing of highly confidential information by their HR. Go to competition but just keep walking on by and don't look back.
