Just one opinion of Boeing...

Pros

Boeing is a good company to work for. The aerospace industry is somewhat stable as a whole. Boeing has great benefits such as 100% tuition reimbursement, a great company match 401(k), matching charitable donations, and the holiday shutdown. Towards the end of the year, Boeing shuts down and employees get a week off work (from christmas to new years). Boeing also understands that the workplace is changing and they offer flexible work schedules such as 4/10, 9/80, virtual office, and telecommuting. To keep employees engaged and continuously learning, Boeing has rotation programs for employees to rotate to different fields and try new careers.

Cons

Since Boeing is a huge corporation, things tend to move slow around here. Boeing, as well as the aerospace industry, tends to be a bit more conservative so there is alot of beauracratic red tape and a lot of politicking involved. There is a big age discrepancy between the older generation and the new college hires. Sometimes these two groups do not see eye-to-eye since the older folks think their way is the best way even though there may be a more efficient way of doing the work. Something must be done to get these two groups to work together more efficiently.

Pros

As a young professional there are tons of opportunites because majority of the folks are and will be retireing in about 10 yrs or less. They will need to fill those higher positions so opportunity growth is great.

Cons

The pay is on the low scale for salary employees, but they offer OT which pays $6.5 + your current salary (hourly rate).

Pros

The pay is decent considering the work being performed. Their college tuition program is absolutely second to none, and I hope that doesn't change any time soon because that's the only reason I'm still there. Also, they have a stock incentive for getting various levels of degrees from a higher education institution.

Cons

Bureaucracy is an understatement. I actually heard a high-level executive in our division refer to Boeing as having the largest number of policies and procedures in the world. That's not something to brag about. The copious amounts of policies and procedures make it extremely difficult to stay up-to-date on what the current rules are, and sometimes even finding the right procedure is insanely time-consuming. Outside of that it is extremely debatable as to the competency of senior level management. Not much seems to ever change despite the various problems encountered in the factory.
