Pros

We are working some very important issues for our Defense Dept and International Customers. It's nice to know you're helping those service members who are out there on the front lines every day and night protecting the interests of the USA.

Cons

With the focus on LEAN and various value stream schemes, we are very lean in the area I work. That means more pressure to perform at the highest possible levels. That pressure isn't hammered upon me from my supervisors, it is an internal thing that I feel from within. When the Commercial side of the business is suffering, it's up to the IDS side of the house to do their best for the Company. For the last 4+ years IDS has kept this company afloat thru some difficult times.

Pros

Lots of opportunities to rotate into different areas of the company. International company, lots of resources and good process guidelines. Great place for a young person to learn the ropes from older and retiring engineers. Boeing puts a lot of emphasis on hiring a diverse workforce. major educational benefits: company pays for graduate degree and other professional certifications

Cons

While Boeing tries hard and implements good anti-discrimination policies, the culture is still pretty conservative, especially at the higher levels. Granted, things have changed a lot since the 90's and much more diverse people are climbing the ranks into top management. It still has a way to go. Great place to work for the first 3-5 years of your career. But consider leaving if you want to move up in your career. Also, if you don't like the aerospace/defense industry, then none of the big 3 defense contractors (Lockheed, Boeing, Northrop) are a good place for you to work. Sometimes project deadlines get in way of quality for customer. Overtime work hours tend to take toll on employee morale and motivation.

Pros

The benefits package cannot be beat. The work is always evolving and interesting. The work schedule is extremely flexible. It is very easy to take time for a doctor appointment or baseball game. The company is large with many opportunities for moving around and building skillsets. There is pride in working on the large scale products that Boeing produces.

Cons

Career advancement opportunities are few and far between. The upper level management does a poor job of communicating with employees. Due to fear of lawsuits, all employees are treated equally regardless of performance. Nonproductive employees are allowed to sit around doing nothing.
