Pros
This is a larger company and there are many opportunities if you do not like your current position. Note that this usually requires a move to a different location. Great benefits, pay, training opportunites!
Cons
There is a lot of competition to contend with and there are a large number of highly experienced people just about ready to retire, but not quite. Management is made up of a combination of legacy Boeing and legacy McDonald-Douglas. They have chosen a more risky method of putting together the 787 that puts a great deal of control/risk onto parts contractors/vendors. This takes away from their control and puts much of the cost and risk onto the vendor. This is supposed to be good, but seems to have turned out to be not that good as the contractors/vendors have not risen to these challenging levels of performance and are not putting FINISHED parts/assemblies on the delivery dock! This results in rather nasty assembly issues back at the final assembly location and lots of extra costs as Boeing Management sends engineers to the contractor/vendors to FIX the problems.
