Pros

Opportunities for growth. Great satisfaction with work.

Cons

The expression "The Lazy B" definitely no longer applies. In order to meet your commitments, you must sacrifice work/life balance. Despite how hard we work, we are continually mistrusted when it comes to things like working virtually. This is a new phenomenon since the new guard of leaders joined Boeing IT.

Pros

The experience - they usually use the latest in software and manufacturing tools. There are usually excellent training resources available, even funded. The mostly cubicle office spaces, facilities and cafeteria are usually clean and decent. One can visit the major assembly and flightline areas without too much trouble to observe aircraft being built. There are some good folks in senior or knowledge positions, but you may have to discover who they are for yourself. I made some good friends there - most of my coworkers were pretty decent folks.

Cons

Typical large company politics, cronyism and nepotism. Corporate guidelines for ethical conduct appear to exist for legal reasons only - you're pretty much at the mercy of your supervisor. Sometimes you get lucky, but if you're not, you may have no choice but to quit. When I was there I saw some peers to do virtually nothing yet maintain their job or even advance while honest worker bees got meaningless trinkets and toys for their efforts. It was often a training ground for junior level employees who'd quit once they had enough experience to go elsewhere. One could be transferred to locations, distant commutes from their residence without consideration. You might wind up training your replacement - in Russia.

Pros

The benefits package cannot be beat. The work is always evolving and interesting. The work schedule is extremely flexible. It is very easy to take time for a doctor appointment or baseball game. The company is large with many opportunities for moving around and building skillsets. There is pride in working on the large scale products that Boeing produces.

Cons

Career advancement opportunities are few and far between. The upper level management does a poor job of communicating with employees. Due to fear of lawsuits, all employees are treated equally regardless of performance. Nonproductive employees are allowed to sit around doing nothing.
