Pros

Pay and benefits are pretty good. If you can tolerate the micro-managing of some of the managers then you will do well. A lot of the programs being worked at Boeing a very very exciting and have value to the country.

Cons

Too much micro-managing at the lower to mid-level managers. The company moves it's managers around too much before they fully understand and know the people and products they are managing. Employees do not get to know and build a relationship of trust and loyality before a manager is moved and another one is put in place requiring the process to start anew.

Business Outlook

Pros

Great benefits: pension + 401k + medical/dental/vision health care at low costs. Great Learning Together Program (LTP) which will help get you advanced degrees. A lot of variety of positions available at various geographical locations. Good work/life balance as compared to other technology companies. The products that Boeing produces are vast, complex, and sometimes awe-inspiring. No where else will you get to work on satellites, space shuttle, missile defense systems, leading edge military weapons, and commercial airplanes. Some people are very bright, but some aren't. Such is the case with all large companies.

Cons

Average salaries, lower growth opportunities. International opportunities within the company are very hard to get and are normally reserved for executive level positions.
