Pros

Education program - Boeing will pay for higher education and then give you 100 shares of stock when you complete a Bachelors or Masters degree. Shares are secured for 3 years- you lose these if you leave before shares become unsecured. Good employer match on 401K. Good benefits

Cons

Project management group is a joke. Methods need work. Not sure who is running the show. (Avoid PP&C group if you come in as a Project Manager!) Pay is behind the curve for PM jobs. Company pays for education, but does nothing to retain those that have pursued higher education. I anticipate that with my MBA that Boeing is paying for (graduate 6/09) it will allow me to double my income outside of Boeing. Stock award for finishing degree is not worth staying on at lower rate of industry pay.

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.
