Pros

Boeing has fantastic benefits; they treat their employees very fairly. The platforms you work on are exciting, and it's very satisfying to see your work go into a warfighter.

Cons

Th technology platforms can be a bit on the old side. Because they have to operate in classified environments, you won't be using the latest and greatest until years later when it is well vetted.
