Pros

Nice benefits, especially regarding tuition payback for ANY course, not just for earning a degree.

Cons

There is a huge bi-modal distribution of employees at Boeing. Almost half the employees are within 5 years of retirement, and a large number of the rest are new hires/college graduates. The old-timers are thrilled to be using computers and CAD software at all, while the new people can't believe the software Boeing is using is older than the employees are.

Asked to do work that doesn't relate to job description, good ol' boys network, very disorganized, bureaucratic, management changes focus a lot, a lot of information withheld from employees, high performers not distinguished from low performers, pay isn't that great, company trying to dismantle unions, office politics is huge in final assembly and delivery, threat of layoffs.

Pros

Pride in our work. Knowing that our products are keeping our military personnel out of harms way. Knowing that they are recieving the best products we can produce to help them with their mission. Knowing that you are working with the best personnel in the industry and they share your goals for the warfighter.

Cons

Companys in this industry rely on government contracts. It can be a little scary at the end of a contract. The possibility of getting laid off is always there.
