Pros

The compensation package is quite good and well-rounded. The healthcare is outstanding and is pretty much free for a couple and very minimal for even a large family. The most incredible benefit is the 100% tuition program for nearly any education you want with NO STRINGS ATTACHED (i.e. no mandatory payback period). Thinking about a masters in something or simply want to do something completely different? This is the place to work if you want to get a degree. The internal training opportunities are good for skill maintenance, but Boeing recently has made a lot of cuts in training for newer technologies and off-hours.

Cons

Lack of upward opportunity into management. The environment is very "old-school" in its promotions and there is a clear distinction between manager and non-manager. Very difficult to snag a first level manager position when most times you compete against several candidates that have several years of management experience.

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

Good benefits Good compensation Friendly atmosphere Full tuition prepayment

Cons

Can't use vacation in advance of accrual as some other companies allow. Insurance administration outsourced and extremely unhelpful. Unlike other companies, celebratory lunches are non-existent. Recognition usually consists of a "Job well done" speech... and that's about it.
