Changing Culture is hard at Boeing but working there is a great career opportunity overall.

Pros

Benefits, Benefits, Benefits. My spouse and I obtained our Graduate Degrees 100% financed by the company's education program, not to mention several other training classes and certificates. Another great benefit is the ability to try out different careers within the company. It is such a big company that you can try jobs from different arenas, not only engineering and manufacturing.

Cons

The corporate culture is conservative and risk-averse to say the least. So if you are trying to change the status quo, it can be done but the results of your efforts will not be seen for a long time to come and that can be very discouraging. It takes a long time for decisions to be made mostly because teams and individuals are not empowered to make changes. There is not a vehicle for individuals to make their contributions known, suggest new ways, collaborate in resolving issues, without getting caught up on a huge bureaucratic mess.

Pros

This is a larger company and there are many opportunities if you do not like your current position. Note that this usually requires a move to a different location. Great benefits, pay, training opportunites!

Cons

There is a lot of competition to contend with and there are a large number of highly experienced people just about ready to retire, but not quite. Management is made up of a combination of legacy Boeing and legacy McDonald-Douglas. They have chosen a more risky method of putting together the 787 that puts a great deal of control/risk onto parts contractors/vendors. This takes away from their control and puts much of the cost and risk onto the vendor. This is supposed to be good, but seems to have turned out to be not that good as the contractors/vendors have not risen to these challenging levels of performance and are not putting FINISHED parts/assemblies on the delivery dock! This results in rather nasty assembly issues back at the final assembly location and lots of extra costs as Boeing Management sends engineers to the contractor/vendors to FIX the problems.
