Pros

Great career opportunities and benefits. Also, there is a lot of room for advancement within a number of different groups in the company. A lot of employees have been there for decades, which shows how loyal the employees are to the company. Also, Boeing pays the tuition for full time employees who are in school. I would definitely recommend working here if you have the opportunity.

Cons

There seem to be major layoff every few years. Also, since there are so many different career opportunities people tend to move around a lot within the company. This results in a lot of training and bringing new people up to speed which can take some time.

Pros

pay for higher education, internal online training offered 24/7. All health care expenses (except co-pays, dental limit of $2000 a year and first 25% for vision). Boeing offers subsidized daycare facilities which is quite good compared to some other daycare centers.

Cons

Being friends with your manager is a more effective way to get promoted than showing competence. Political infighting and character assassination are increasingly the norm at Boeing. Lack of respect to employees. HR are totally worthless, in fact, I was experienc

Pros

If you are passionate about aviation. The products have been great and hopefully will be in the future. Someone considering a career here might hope that the down turn will be severe enough to truly purge the deadwood and force the company to focus on the essentials of being a successful business. For the right person, this could be just the challenge they are looking for. The aggregate level of business acumen, even in the management and central marketing areas is woefully low. This presents an opportunity for a bright person who understands the complexity of the product and the business environment to make a difference.

Cons

There exists a bloated management structure and a toxic culture where leaders have been driven out. A culture of "yes men" has taken root. Opportunities for people with true leadership skills are few and far between. Over the years, the sense of urgency has evaporated from the collective consciousness. On the production side, particularly the 737, incredible achievements in manufacturing efficiency and quality have been realized. Unfortunately, the entire industry seems to have become unable to develop new products without exceeding budget projections by a factor of two or three or more. This is clearly the case at Boeing and presents a significant challenge going forward.
