Pros

There are many resources at the disposal of the engineer to properly execute his or her job functions. While it might be a little tedious in terms of making sure the paperwork is properly in order when making a design change, this is the case with all federal suppliers. It really isn't a drawback specifically against Boeing. Interoffice politics seems to be on the normal side for a company of this size. And of course, the main reason people decide on working at a large company like Boeing is the opportunities for training, education, and career advancement, which Boeing takes care of.

Cons

Sometimes projects drag on and lack enthusiasm

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.
