Business Outlook

Pros

Great opportunities within the company for advancement. Employees are very proud of the work that they do and the products they create. Great place to start an engineering career. Great entry-level pay rates with decent benefits package. Plus you get to work on some of the most innovative, cutting edge projects on the planet.

Cons

It's sometimes easy to get lost within the company, since it is so large. Pay starts out very good, but raises are not competitive compared to the rest of the industry. Therefore the lack of raises do not keep experienced employees around for very long. Some of the processes are archaic.

Boeing is a good place to start your career, but not for significant career advancement.

Business Outlook

Pros

Boeing has a great benefits package, the culture in the office is relaxed and unstressful, and you have the opportunity to meet a lot of people.

Cons

The promotion process is horrible. It doesn't matter how hard you work, just how long you've been in your job. There is no incentive to work hard at certain levels. People will get promoted just because they've been in a position for so long and are getting close to the far end of their salary scale. Aside from that, Boeing went a few years without hiring college graduates and you can now see the age gap throughout the company. There are young people, but they're so spread out. Therefore, some young people might not have the opportunity to work with many people close in age.
