Pros

Benefits package and well known brand name in a secure industry Boeing appealing. Benefits including health and life insurance are second to none. 401K and pension are very competitive. 100% tuition reimbursement makes advanced education very easy to attain. Jobs seem secure (never heard of any firings for even the worst performing employees).

Cons

Low pay and overall lack of appreciation for finance employees compared to engineering community (Guess it comes with the territory). Layer upon layer of bloated hierarchy makes it difficult for anyone other than the lucky and the most self-serving to get timely promotions. Great educational benefits are offset by the fact that advanced degrees and licenses get no recognition in the work environment.

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.
