Best Aerospace company I ever worked for

Pros

I was exposed to many exciting work and career opportunities at Boeing over the years. The people, though, are what make boeing such a great place to work. Best run company I ever worked for (have worked for 10 companies in aerospace, hi-tech, and manufacturing as an engineer). Very enjoyable work atmosphere. Had many group pot-lucks for the holidays. made many friends there. People always go out of their way to help you get your job done. Management very helpful to develop your career and provide other work opportunities to learn other job skills. Flexible work hours, great benefits, great people. Most interesting company culture I was ever exposed to.

Cons

Can be very challenging to get your work done on time. Must work hard/develop good time management skills.

Pros

Great Benefits. They automatically put 3% of your salary into a 401k and you are fully vested right away. They then match the first 4% that you put in, and then they match 50% of your inputs up to 8%. So, if you put away 8% of your salary into your 401k, Boeing will put 9% of your salary into your 401k. Flexible work hours. This depends on your manager and your function, but there is the option to flex time. So, days when you have other things to do, you can work less and make it up later in the week. Education payment. After working with the company for a year, you can begin to take classes towards a college degree.

Cons

The work is not very challenging. If you are looking to work on the guts of cutting edge technology, Boeing is not the place for you. You may get to play with cool toys, but it is unlikely that you will develop it. Most work involves integrating systems into a manufacturing environment and defining functional requirements. There is way too much bureaucracy. It is extremely challenging to get anything done. Everyone needs to have a say and there is oftentimes a notion that something is not their statement of work, even though occasionally it is no one's defined statement of because of its novelty. So, there are instances where groups won't help you and also won't let you do it yourself. Too vertical of a company. There are way too many layers of management. There are so many managers that just manage managers.

Pros

Good healthcare and 401K benefits. There is an opportunity for a flexible work schedule depending on manager. Competitive entry level pay.

Cons

Just a cog in the machine of a giant corporation. Companies like this historically took care of employees to ensure retention - this is going away however (pensions, etc.). There is little incentive to stay with the company for long. Raises are difficult to come by, and your compensation/bonus is completely unrelated to your performance. There is not incentive to do anything more than mediocre work.
