Pros

1. Boeing International Brand 2. Work-life balance 3. Free Gym membership (upto 50k per year)

Cons

1. Too bad for real Programmers - you will forget your programming skills as you are always involved in Excel/Word/PPT creation. 2. Managers have no idea how Software Teams work. Some managers doesn't even have PMP certification. 3. Not allowed to work in your experienced skill (Doesn't matter if you are Java/.NET expert, you are asked to work in whatever rubbish task is available) 4. Too many low quality programmers hired to achieve hiring targets 5. Management only talks about Boeing Behaviors, but follows nothing practically. 6. Year-End Performance reviews are a joke as managers have no idea how to evaluate your performance. You are rated based on how you treat your managers (irrespective of your technical skills) 7. Have no hopes of career growth. Please join Boeing India only if your career aspiration is to impress managers by helping with their day-to-day task, and creating spreadsheets/ppts, and if you want to grow in IT career without writing a single line of code.

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.
