Pros
There are a vast amount of opportunites to advance in the company. They work both commerical and military so you can choose the light side or the dark side, as one co-worker put it! I enjoy everything that is military and am somewhat of a boeing legacy child, both my parents worked for McDonald Douglass which later became Boeing, so I'm really intune with all things Boeing. Other perks that were great as an intern were the pay, the benfits and the work/life balance. I was making easy money as an intern and then easily put most of it ina 401(K) that you're allowed to start once you start in the company ( i got away with 30% matching two years in a row!). And finally I was able to leave at 4pm everyday, nice!
Cons
Although the pay was good I discovered that relative to other engineering majors I made far less and still did the same work, I found this very unfair. Another issue I found with my three seperate internships was the huge age differences. Many employees at Boeing need to retire and talk to their mother for me. Theses individuals, despite their extensive experience in the company did not know some of the most basic functions or applications on the PCs. I was happy to help them ofcourse. And since there is such a gap in ages, I was constantly ruled against when making deciosin, both for a lack in experience and a lack of age.
