They're adequate if you can't get a job elsewhere and have an excellent tuition program. - Sheetmetal Assembler Boeing Employee Review

Pros

The pay is decent considering the work being performed. Their college tuition program is absolutely second to none, and I hope that doesn't change any time soon because that's the only reason I'm still there. Also, they have a stock incentive for getting various levels of degrees from a higher education institution.

Cons

Bureaucracy is an understatement. I actually heard a high-level executive in our division refer to Boeing as having the largest number of policies and procedures in the world. That's not something to brag about. The copious amounts of policies and procedures make it extremely difficult to stay up-to-date on what the current rules are, and sometimes even finding the right procedure is insanely time-consuming. Outside of that it is extremely debatable as to the competency of senior level management. Not much seems to ever change despite the various problems encountered in the factory.

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.
