Pros

Benefits. Free health care and tuition reimbursement for any class you want to take. This is unmatched elsewhere. Strong company, because they have a strong footprint in both the defense and commercial industries. Therefore, in terms of job security, there is always work to do. Also, job mobility is very flexible. When you get bored of a project, there are a ton of other groups that are willing to take you on for different projects. Easy to move around horizontally at least.

Cons

BIG company. When you work on something so large like the 787, it is hard to see what exactly you just contributed to the project. Sometimes, you feel like just another number.

Pros

Benefits are good, employee depth of experience was appreciated at times and sometimes not.

Cons

Communication from senior management needs improvement in the IT organization; future strategies were unclear and were not communicated. Confusion over systems between the major business units because there were many duplicative systems providing similar functionality. Costs were unknown because the Financial systems were very complex. 'Virtual' programs were not universally supported across the various organizations and the decision to support or not was not always clearly understood at the employee level; program often seemed to implemented across the organizations with conflicting reasoning.

Pros

Great benefits including fully paid medical, dental and vision insurance (depending on which plan you choose). Jobs are available doing almost anything you can imagine since the company is so large. Also there are a very wide variety of programs and locations. The work is fairly stable compared to many start up businesses.

Cons

Union membership is required (for engineers in certain regions like the pacific northwest). Structured hierarchy for job levels doesn't leave much room for advancement. In other words advancement is largely dependent on years of experience not necessarily skills. Vacation is very limited until you have been at the company for a long time. For instance you only get 10 days a year until you have 4 years of service. And you max out at 20 days per year.
