Not what it used to be.

Pros

There are many talented, smart, creative people at Boeing. If you're lucky enough to land on the right team, the people you work with can and will make all the difference. Good for people right out of college who want to get some experience before leaving to get a job where they can grow and have promotional opportunities.

Cons

If you're not in engineering, the salaries and promotional opportunities are in the toilet. Boeing is light years behind the market salaries in this area (Seattle) for a majority of job specialties. The benefits are dwindling away year after year. Many of the important benefits that first attracted me to the company are gone i.e educational reimbursement, no cost health insurance and 401k. Annual salary increases are based on Mickey Mouse math and well below cost of living for this area. Promotional opportunities are almost non-existent. The experienced employees are retiring and the mid-level and entry-level employees are abandoning ship for huge salary increases and hiring bonuses at other big Seattle companies.

Pros

Great benefits and flexible work schedules

Cons

- There are a disproportionate number of older employees which makes it hard to find challenging work and get promotions - It's an old company with lots of processes and bureaucracy which makes it hard to get things accomplished quickly

Pros

Work life balance = PLUS. Due to budget / cost issues, over time work is highly discouraged. So one will never have to work more than 40hrs in the business sector Free continuing education = PLUS. Every year, you do get an annual amount dedicated to just education like getting certifications/MBA/ etc. Benefits: Pretty average but you do have a range of options to choose from

Cons

Managers: Hit or miss. If you get a good manager, you'll be in good hands to move up. Bad managers will end up micro-managing and you'll hate the job for sure Bureaucracy: too many levels of approvals needed = work can never be done on time Lack of incentives/promotions: Boeing doesn't really promote or incentivize people to do better. Most of the younger professionals under 30 eventually leave Compensation: Many companies offer a better salary range than Boeing
