Pros

Boeing has a great benefits package, the culture in the office is relaxed and unstressful, and you have the opportunity to meet a lot of people.

Cons

The promotion process is horrible. It doesn't matter how hard you work, just how long you've been in your job. There is no incentive to work hard at certain levels. People will get promoted just because they've been in a position for so long and are getting close to the far end of their salary scale. Aside from that, Boeing went a few years without hiring college graduates and you can now see the age gap throughout the company. There are young people, but they're so spread out. Therefore, some young people might not have the opportunity to work with many people close in age.

Pros

The benefits are amazing and cannot compare to any other company that I see in the market place. The course reimbursement is a dream come true and I cannot say enough about the medical and the pension. If you like doing the same job over and over again - then this is the place for you!

Cons

As an employee you do not have an idea of what it takes to get move on to the next level which only leaves riding on a managers coat-tails and breeds the kind of 'yes-men' that you only thought existed in movies. The middle-age pot-bellied white male wins the day at Boeing.

Pros

In Engineering, the people you work with are very knowledgeable and friendly. The normal hours for a Software Engineer are sane (40 per week) and you get paid for working overtime. The benefits are good. The work is usually (though not always) interesting. It's a good feeling seeing something you and hundreds of others designed or worked on fly and how important it is to our customers.

Cons

The management is so worried about "metrics" that they forget about common sense and lose sight of the big picture. Sometimes work is done inefficiently as a result of management not using logic and reason when coming up with processes.
