Pros

Benefits! It is a very large company and once you are in, you can move around to any other job function easily, esp. if you are an engineer.

Cons

Compensation isn't high enough and they don't fully tell you what you will be doing before you arrive. A lot of bureaucracy too!

Pros

At Boeing, we're always working on fascinating projects that are highly visible throughout the world including the Space Shuttle, Space Station, Military aircraft, and commercial aircraft.

Cons

At least in Integrated Defense Systems, you have to deal with all of the nonsense associated with government contracts. Not only does this include countless numbers of people reviewing your every action, but also the "disadvantage company" subcontracting. This leads to two very different compensation scales for the exact same work, and unfortunately it's the Boeing employees who are on the short end.

Pros

There are a ton of varied and technically challenging projects to go around. Overall employees are intelligent, friendly, and helpful. The benefits are great...we get a pension, 401k (with company match of 6%), completely free healthcare, tuition, 10 sick days, paid vacation, and the week of Christmas off. Another nice perk is the ability to telecommute and work flexible hours.

Cons

Vacation takes too long to accrue...we start with two weeks plus the week of Christmas and it takes nine years to move to three weeks. Our facilities are dated (from the 80s) and there are a lot of older employees. Boeing is huge (150,000 ish employees) so the bureaucracy can be annoying. There seems to be a lot of work that is duplicated around the company. We can't keep losing big contracts.
