Pros

Boeing has a prestigious 100-year legacy and is a household name in the sector. Industry leading employee benefits with respect to holidays, leaves, health insurance, gym membership, and car lease A respective culture and initiatives such as "Seek, Speak, and Listen" holds promise for fostering constructive feedback.

Cons

Clarity within the leadership hierarchy often remains elusive. Dependency on US funding and decision-making hampers autonomy. The ITDA faces inefficiencies with unproductive conference calls and duplicated efforts. Career advancement opportunities are limited and subjective. Setting of Key Result Areas lacks objectivity, making assessment challenging. Recognition is inconsistent and reliant on self-promotion. Employee discipline is often lax, with instances of abuse of privileges, be it remote work, or leave policy Senior leadership has misplaced priorities focussing on meeting diversity quotas over fundamental quality issues even during a crisis period.

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.
