Pros

Union backing for engineers in the Puget Sound area. Flexible scheduling. Little to no power struggles or personal vendettas.

Cons

The really nice benefits are basically all going away bit by bit over the years. They're moving to be in line with other companies compensation-wise, all while being decades behind in most other areas. Software is seen as overhead. They're honestly looking to farm out as much of it as possible. Not really any where to go with software as a career at Boeing.

Pros

Good benefits and work life balance

Cons

Bad management, bureaucracy, lots of dead weight, they don’t promote or pay for performance but for time served, they have a lot of outdated systems and tools and are very behind in the market and other companies in this regard, slow, pay is not competitive, very hard to feel like you make an impact as an individual.

Pros

Boeing has taken really good care of me since joining out of college over the years, but really needs to step up it's game to remain competitive (in software). Company leadership have become awakened to the powers of agile, user centered design and devops, but the other verticals of the company (facilities, hr) are not prepared or are reluctant to do what they need to retain the top talent. I was taken care of and was kept relatively happy as a software engineer for five years, but after wanting more out of my career pursued a position of high stress, high visibility and potentially high payoff. Only the stress and visibility pieces materialized.

Cons

Corporate bureaucracy runs amok. The majority of employees at Boeing are happy with corporate tranquility and that can be an pain for high performers. Ex Co has a desire to be adaptive and modern but a century of middle management bloat stops that desire from becoming something.
