Pros

The pay is decent considering the work being performed. Their college tuition program is absolutely second to none, and I hope that doesn't change any time soon because that's the only reason I'm still there. Also, they have a stock incentive for getting various levels of degrees from a higher education institution.

Cons

Bureaucracy is an understatement. I actually heard a high-level executive in our division refer to Boeing as having the largest number of policies and procedures in the world. That's not something to brag about. The copious amounts of policies and procedures make it extremely difficult to stay up-to-date on what the current rules are, and sometimes even finding the right procedure is insanely time-consuming. Outside of that it is extremely debatable as to the competency of senior level management. Not much seems to ever change despite the various problems encountered in the factory.

Pros

Global Company. Good future opportunities. Good social environment. The brand, everyone knows the brand and quality of products.

Cons

Some Managers have too big of an ego. There are some that are ex military and they still have a command and control attitude. Other factors include being complacent, we sometimes take too long to get projects completed and the customer is annoyed with us.

Pros

Education program - Boeing will pay for higher education and then give you 100 shares of stock when you complete a Bachelors or Masters degree. Shares are secured for 3 years- you lose these if you leave before shares become unsecured. Good employer match on 401K. Good benefits

Cons

Project management group is a joke. Methods need work. Not sure who is running the show. (Avoid PP&C group if you come in as a Project Manager!) Pay is behind the curve for PM jobs. Company pays for education, but does nothing to retain those that have pursued higher education. I anticipate that with my MBA that Boeing is paying for (graduate 6/09) it will allow me to double my income outside of Boeing. Stock award for finishing degree is not worth staying on at lower rate of industry pay.
