Pros

The benefits at Boeing are very good, including 401K match and the people that you work with are mostly great.

Cons

Good salary coming in, once your in they don't care about you anymore. Raises tend to be low and promotions are almost non-existent, while workers are working well above their levels. Managers are terrible and are rotated regularly after terrible performance at their posts. There are also far too few experienced people as they lay off top level engineers to replace them with entry level engineers.

Pros

Good pay, great benefits, intelligent coworkers at the working level.

Cons

It's like living inside a Dilbert cartoon. Management heavy, soul sucking, stagnant. No future here. No real leadership, only managers. Management can't seem to win programs.

Toxic, chaotic and bullying

Pros

Potentially beats being unemployed.....potentially, they provide free coffee and water to employees. Lots of slogans and buzz words. Good if you like US management culture.

Cons

Bullying, blaming and abuse are the name of the game, lots of ex military types who know everything about anything. Lots of FIGJAM. Lots of very poor people managers in leadership roles who should really be better placed punching code behind closed Doors and not leading other humans. US citizens rule the place, no decisions made by locals (described as non-us employees). Management by crisis , repeat the same mistakes over and over. Endless meetings without any decision making. Risk aversion is extreme and results in no one doing anything, ever , under any circumstance....unless a US citizen tells them, then shazzam! It's battle stations and the hunt for scape goats and public floggings of low level support people occurring on a mass scale. Apart from that the pay is below market rates and the 8 hours a day of pointless meetings require 50-60 hour work weeks just to get any actual work done. Some people are nice, at least that's what I was led to believe.
