Pros

-You can try out different projects and get some good experience depending on the team you're with -Good place to work for around 2 years, after that it becomes stale quickly -you do meet some good people who care

Cons

- Generally under resourced and under staffed for a lot of projects - A lot of managers do not care about anything beyond sitting through daily meetings, allocate tasks, and if something goes wrong they'll blame someone else - a lot of the forced culture stuff is fake - this company loves its process driven work, it creates so much slowness - technically skilled people carry the projects, but they're the least recognised

Pros

Working at Boeing gives you hands-on experience on commercial aircraft, which is highly valued across the aviation and aerospace industries. Exposure to high-quality standards, FAA regulations, and precision manufacturing builds strong technical credibility.

Cons

Many assembly tasks can be repetitive, which may feel monotonous over time. Precision work is critical, so attention to detail must be maintained constantly.

Pros

Easy going, nice benefits, free further education (masters/PhD). Great for an engineer starting out who needs to dip their feet in the pool of engineering for a few years and to get a great 401(k) match at the start of your career (compounding growth). Great for late stage career due to the benefits and solid enough pay in a low cost of living area

Cons

pay-scale lagging, no emphasis on learning new things, no punishment for people who are bad at their job. After working for 4 years, I feel like I should have jumped ship after 2. I haven't been given meaningful work that really challenges me in a while. Now I feel pigeonholed into staying because I have enough years of experience that I really should be considered senior, but I haven't been given work that reflects what I senior engineer should be capable of. Now I'm trying to jump ship before it's really too late. If I stay here another 2 years I think I will be genuinely unemployable and will have to stay at this company forever.
