Pros

Pay and benefits are pretty good. If you can tolerate the micro-managing of some of the managers then you will do well. A lot of the programs being worked at Boeing a very very exciting and have value to the country.

Cons

Too much micro-managing at the lower to mid-level managers. The company moves it's managers around too much before they fully understand and know the people and products they are managing. Employees do not get to know and build a relationship of trust and loyality before a manager is moved and another one is put in place requiring the process to start anew.

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.
