They care about you, but could provide better resources - Software Engineering Intern Boeing Employee Review

Pros

A lot of the work you're doing is pretty cool. Also you get integrated into a team, so you'll be working with actual employees. The best overall though is Boeing is an amazing employer. Hard to believe that a company of that size actually cares about you, but they really work hard to pay you really well. If you're an intern, don't just look at the hourly salary, because they'll pay a lot more (meaning double for me) in relocation.

Cons

Worked in defense, so had company politics to deal with in addition to government bureaucracy. Can be frustrating at times dealing with some of their antiquated systems.

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.
