Pros

While pay is average or slightly subpar compared to other high-tech companies in the area, Boeing has a good healthcare and educational reimbursement package. Retirement and 401(K) matching packages are again average or subpar compared to other comparable companies in the Puget Sound. If you are interested in work responsibility, the news is both good and bad. The bad news is there is a lack of experienced, direct employees at all experience levels, especially the senior level. The upside to that is depending on what program you work on, there are ample opportunities to take on work responsibilities/projects that can enhance your career growth.

Cons

Senior management have made some serious mis-steps on staffing, downsizing of industrial capability and current business models. In many instances it seems like they cannot learn from their mistakes.

Pros

Stable career with interesting tasks. Learning Together program is quite generous, while the engineers' union (SPEEA) ensures fair overtime pay and benefits. Impresses people from out of town.

Cons

Work can be mundane. Everything is checked, rechecked for correctness, engineers contribute minutely to each massive project. As a sprawling corporation, it can be hard to coordinate schedules among management and even other employees. It's easy to feel insignificant when a project that dominates your work hours may be discarded at the end because of management whim. Some engineering tools are antiquated; we only had one MATLAB license among a 20-person group.
