Pros

They hire at true entry-level and will take chances on individuals right out of university. Ability to flex hours.

Cons

Boeing is desperately trying to pretend that they are the amazing aerospace company they used to be. But this snotty pretense lands hollow and employees get disillusioned quickly. Lack of innovation, they have a fear of modernizing and of change. They became angry and vindictive when anyone tries to use newer technology. It is like working in a factory, even as an engineer. You feel like you aren’t there to think, but to be a mindless. They care only about shareholders, not their products. Meaning everything is done cheaply, carelessly and without passion. Compensation is not keeping up with market.

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.
