Pros

Interesting technology you are developing. There are a lot of fascinating aircraft/spacecraft under development, if you are looking to work on something that is really cool, you can't find a better place.

Cons

Outdated tools to work with. Doesn't keep up with industry standard for software developers. They are not adverse to spending money on tools, it is just that the tools that people are using are so entrenched that they would rather spend thousands of dollars to upgrade to the next version of FORTRAN rather than move to something like C. Also, we have lots of tools that we've developed in house, which aren't as good as things available commercially...guess which ones are better.

Pros

The compensation package is acceptable compare to the same industry. Because it is unionize , don't expect to get a good salary increment even when your performance is exceptional. This is a compnay that you need to make used of their resources to upgrade yourself.

Cons

Big company in an unstable industry. A lot of politics.

Pros

Boeing has so many different business areas that it is possible to try very different career paths without leaving the company. I have had many good mentors and managers who have invested in my personal and professional development. The educational benefits are also unparalleled.

Cons

It is difficult to get promotions and get noticed as a younger engineer just because there are so many baby boomers who are experts in their fields. The higher up you get, the harder it is to justify a promotion.
