Pros

You get to work on some leading edge technology with some great people. The pay and benefits are some of the highest in the industry. If you're willing to move around, you can move up quickly through the company. They're trying to improve the company culture and reduce the bureaucracy that had a tendency to slow things to a crawl. Most people believe Dennis Muilenberg really wants to make it happen. I know I did. Without it, Boeing will become another dinosaur that falls off the S&P 500 in a few decades.

Cons

They have a large portion of senior managers that refuse to help make the changes necessary to compete in the future. Many of the ones I worked with were apathetic, and only cared about their upcoming retirement or the next golf game (usually during working hours under the guise of customer relations). It was frustrating enough for me to take a pay cut and leave for another company.

Slow Moving Management will determine your opportunities- finding a good one is tough Most managers are more worried about their own careers, and not yours

Pros

Access to the production floor was an amazing experience.

Cons

Inadequate and very poor management involvement. Hired to make decisions but was held back because the middle management chain upwards had too many people who required to approve every decision. Every reject would be sent back down to my desk which increased the time and effort. The new decision would then go up the chain again and be rejected by another middle manager who approved it the last time. Down it would come again and sent back up with yet another reject. It is amazing that Boeing even can complete an aircraft for delivery. If you a fortunate enough to locate a job without unnecessary middle managers you may be at Boeing for a long time a become lost in their system as a number and not a person. So many people just set around and do very little work.
