Pros

Technology is off the scale. You are exposed to the latest and greatest, far more than most companies. The culture is respectful, encouraging, and has built-in measures that truly protects all employee levels from micro-managing, bully-management, predator managements, sneaky managing, and the like. It's an environment where you wake up and enjoy going to work, like how it was long ago.

Cons

Trying to manage the ups and downs of the aerospace business. It can be nerve racking to watch the news knowing that some ridiculous world event can adversely affect the business. No fault of Boeing but when most of the products cary huge price tags as theirs, there aren't many buyers in the world with pockets deep enough to buy from the counter.

Pros

Good benefits, professional atmosphere, supportive peer environment. Good Work-Life balance is possible in many areas if effort to personally manage it. Compensation and Benefits are good.

Cons

Corporate management lost sight of values - manipulates organizational structure and guidelines to hide motives and justify actions. Not good for long term career. Has lost sight of its past values.

Pros

Lots of training available. And after you have been there a year you can go to college. Some good people there. Many are getting ready to retire or get laid off.

Cons

Bureaucracy on steroids. The executives at the top are using stock buybacks and raising the dividend to enrich themselves at the expense of partnering with their employees and suppliers. People who run the airplane programs make billion dollar mistakes and expect the suppliers and salary employees to pay for them. Corruption and unethical behavior are rampant even though the employees have to sign a "Code of Conduct" every year. 90% of first line managers are completely out of their league, and the company doesn't do anything except pile more e-mail and meetings on them. And it only gets worse the higher up the management chain you go. The merry go round of lower level management doesn't help morale either. Very hard to get promoted these days and raises are skimpy unless you are in management.
