Pros

Fantastic product and history. I never grew tired of working in the Airplane business. They are complex and interesting machines and how the many diverse customers around the world operated their business was always interesting. Also, there a lot of smart, talented people there.

Cons

For many years Boeing seemed to value their employees and their talents. After the merger with McDonnell Douglas - Boeing seemed to swing in the opposite direction. They have slowly been moving back towards valuing their employees - however they aren't there yet and there are some key holes they need to address.

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.
