Big company that provides a reliable steady job.

Business Outlook

Pros

Great benefits: pension + 401k + medical/dental/vision health care at low costs. Great Learning Together Program (LTP) which will help get you advanced degrees. A lot of variety of positions available at various geographical locations. Good work/life balance as compared to other technology companies. The products that Boeing produces are vast, complex, and sometimes awe-inspiring. No where else will you get to work on satellites, space shuttle, missile defense systems, leading edge military weapons, and commercial airplanes. Some people are very bright, but some aren't. Such is the case with all large companies.

Cons

Average salaries, lower growth opportunities. International opportunities within the company are very hard to get and are normally reserved for executive level positions.

Pros

The only pro for working for Boeing are the benefits and perks. It's hard to beat their educational reimbursement program. Great thing to take advantage of.

Cons

Most of the meaningful engineering work is given to suppliers. This leaves little room for development of younger employees. Also, no big contracts looming in the near future. Also, there is a big disconnect between senior management and the actual engineering workforce. It seems as if they don't understand the nature of the work we're doing always leads to problems down the road. Additionally, performance reviews are a complete waste of time as nearly all employees (stellar and mediocre) get very similar reviews and performance increases.
