Pros

Reliable paycheck every two weeks Very difficult to get fired World class benefits (401k, HSA, discounts, relocation, etc. Good work life balance It’s a great place to start your career especially as an intern to gain experience. Great opportunities for travel If you don’t like your manager you will probably have a new one within a year

Cons

You will probably not be recognized or appreciated for your contributions. It’s like crabs in a barrel, you have to be very intentional about finding a good mentor. It really is sink or swim. You have to switch teams every 2 years to get a substantial raise. Otherwise it is 2-7% annually. Very immature and unprofessional upper management and leadership at most sites. You probably wouldn’t believe the types of things that go on at this company, especially at k level and up. HR is not there to help you, they are there to prevent litigation from occurring. They advocate for seek speak and listen but will absolutely retaliate against you for doing so. Boeing is no longer an engineering firm, it’s a business and most people strive for middle management positions.

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.
