Pros

-Amazing Products -Great opportunities -can work a lot of different things but stay with one company -good job security -in general, good people to work with -great senior leadership

Cons

-Doesn't reward high performers well -salary raises/promotion/bonus structure is system driven and doesn't allow for much variance between low performers and high performers -some first level managers are poor leaders -poor performers just hang around, never get fired

Pros

Smart co-workers, interesting and varied work, great pay and benefits, innovative products

Cons

Embedded arrogance now facing intense global competition. The company lays off employees to counteract huge leadership errors; age discrimination; the vision is inspiring but the company is now dumping employees rather than fixing the root causes, leaders are in a different class than everyone else. Boeing culture of respect has been destroyed by McDonnell Douglas short-term perspective and lack of respect for the workforce. Terrible employee communication. Top-down culture. Lots of bloat and bureaucracy. Layoffs more rampant than those portrayed in the news.

Pros

Boeing's benefit plan is in-line with most Aerospace & Defense Companies - They provide medical, dental, vision care, and 401k matching. They also will pay for up to two advanced degrees at the bachelor, master, and doctoral level if you work full-time, and have at least three years of work experience. If you are looking to gain corporate operational experience, and you need a company to pay for your advanced degree, then I would apply at Boeing.

Cons

First, Boeing is laying-off at all levels in there defense business unit. And they are in the early stages of their market based affordability (MBA) reduction in force (RIF) in the commercial segment. The company claims they want a diverse and inclusive workforce, but their actions suggest they want is a homogeneous workforce.
