Pros

Great Learning Opportunities -- many different business units provide variety. Boeing also has a great program called learning together which allows employees to obtain a degree anywhere with full tuition and secondary expenses paid for while you work. Boeing also offers rotational programs and leadership development courses to jump start your management career.

Cons

Corporate atmosphere with a government focus. Things dont happen quickly here. As the company's IDS side is heavily regulated because our primary customer is the government -- don't expect anything to be easy. Sometimes it takes years to make a minor change a standard. Boeing is also an old company with few young hires.

Pros

I think the best reason to work at Boeing is because of the projects that you can contribute to. The benefits are pretty good and the pay is up there with other large companies if you produce. I see younger engineers moving up as their desire and talents warrent. There isn't as much of the ol' boys network at Boeing anymore. Most of them have retired.

Cons

It's a big company, but you still can have a significant impact once you get established and get credibility. Occasionally you'll run across a manager that thinks he's God's gift to mankind and he won't listen to anyone because he's God and nobody else knows anything more than he does. There seems to be too much manage by MBA and too much nice guy management. Sometimes somebody just needs to be shown the door because they don't fit in (not enough motivation) but it doesn't happen, they end up working somewhere else in the company.

Pros

Benefits. Free health care and tuition reimbursement for any class you want to take. This is unmatched elsewhere. Strong company, because they have a strong footprint in both the defense and commercial industries. Therefore, in terms of job security, there is always work to do. Also, job mobility is very flexible. When you get bored of a project, there are a ton of other groups that are willing to take you on for different projects. Easy to move around horizontally at least.

Cons

BIG company. When you work on something so large like the 787, it is hard to see what exactly you just contributed to the project. Sometimes, you feel like just another number.
