      Pros

      Career opportunities are rich here with plenty of room for advancement. Management is fair and compensation is very fair indeed.

      Cons

      Extremely long hours which sometimes take away from that positive work/life balance that many employers are looking to strengthen these days

      Pros

      It's a large company, which by definition, creates a variety of possible work experiences. For writers who are not strictly IT, there are still many opportunities. Although the vaunted Boeing culture has changed a great deal since Boeing and McDonald Douglas merged in the late 1990s (and the company is less generous, more bureacratic, and less open) Boeing still provides relatively generous benefits (thanks largely to the unions that operate). Payscales have fallen behind the cost of living in Seattle area but is not terribly out of line.

      Cons

      For writers in Company Communicatons (part of Shared Services Group) there is ever-increasing pressure to be fully billable -- at levels that are impossible to sustain. The company has always been plagued by bureacracy, but that problem has grown considerably worse in past 5 years. Management - particularly upper management - creates countless hoops and reporting requirements for first-line managers and their employees. The flow of information - while copious - leaves much to be desired.

      Boeing is in trouble if they don't capture more work.

      Pros

      Benefits Interesting Projects Pay Tuition Reimbursement 401(k) Liberal HR policies (computer websites not banned, telecommuting OK, flexible schedules) Excellent Intranet (uses google search engine) Good job of consolidating, every Boeing site tunes into the same benefits, travel, helpdesk. Good job on this common process. Other companies such as Northrop Grumman still are limitied by legacy acquisitions, each NG sector is different.

      Cons

      Often work off site such as on a military base in crowded conditions Similar to above, if working on a classified project, work conditions are often very cramped, lots of hassles and restrictions. Not that these are unnecessary but it is a reality. Very difficult to (attract and retain) employees to high cost, bad freeway traffic locations such as El Segundo, CA. Weird rules on vacation; until recently, could not take anything but eight hours of vacation (couldn't work six and take two hours of vacation in one day for example)
