Pros

There are many resources at the disposal of the engineer to properly execute his or her job functions. While it might be a little tedious in terms of making sure the paperwork is properly in order when making a design change, this is the case with all federal suppliers. It really isn't a drawback specifically against Boeing. Interoffice politics seems to be on the normal side for a company of this size. And of course, the main reason people decide on working at a large company like Boeing is the opportunities for training, education, and career advancement, which Boeing takes care of.

Cons

Sometimes projects drag on and lack enthusiasm

Pros

The pay is better then any of the other Defense businesses out there, and the benefits package is great. I have really taken advantage of the opportunities to go back to school and take other professional education classes at Boeing expense.

Cons

To much of the business is moving to suppliers, eroding away at the companies technical competence and manufacturing capabilities.

Pros

Great total compensation and vacation packages. They pay for your senior year of college for undergrads and will continue to pay as much schooling as you desire. Proud of the product that you produce as you look into the sky. Get the chance to work with very bright interdisciplinary setting. Boeing invests a lot of money in their employees. Very flexible work hours depending on group. You are bound to find people you like in the company as Boeing provides an abundance of resources for outreach groups, intramural sports, and a club for dozens of "random" activities. Very well rounded company.

Cons

Very large company and management gets very political. Very "American" and stubborn way of doing business. A very easy company for people to "skate" by without contributing much. Management didn't pay attention to the happenings of the team merely the end results that would make them look the best. Often times, office conflicts were never taken care of because of the minimal management visibility/availability. The company is currently very "old" as most of the workface is near retirement in the next ten years, making a large digital divide and age gap leading to conflict. Lots of office politics are involved.
