Pros

benifits the benifits are really good a boeing from medical to dental to 401k if you want to plan for retirement this is the company to be at if you want to further your education this company will really make it worth your wild. they will really work with you if you are going to school as far as altering start times and shifts.

Cons

layoffs and strikes and lack of support. You cant rely on study employment, strike is immenent and you put in extra time sometimes madatory to find out you worked enough to get ahead of the job and your position is not necessary anymore and poof layoff. right now is a good time theyre hiring and in need but when they get ahead they will layoff and the layoff makes no sense they lay off people that have been there for 20years next to a 2 year person and then leave a person who just started.

Pros

The benefit package is wonderful. It's one of the last companies to still have a pension plan AND a 401K. Depending on your department, they are flexible with work and family balancing. Communication in such a large company is a challenge. Departments don't seem to talk to each other even when they need to. Some areas of Boeing rely on ovetime to get jobs done. In that regard it is difficult to plan weekends ahead of time if you are in one of those areas. Boeing is terrific at paying for your college education, but they won't help you put it to use once you get that degree. I've never understood why.

Cons

The lack of accountability in management. Bad managers are allowed to continue to be managers. Why? Our organziation has been reorganized 4 or 5 times in the last four years. Each time we get a new manager and new expectations. A lot of the reorganizations are a result of some Gartner study that says all IT organizations should align this way. Just as we get the latest reorganization under our belts, we get reorganized because it's not working as management had planned. I understand the need for change to be leaner and more productive. However some of the latest reorganizations make no sense and are not any leaner than we were before.

Pros

Learning Together Program, Employer Match Savings Plan, Share Value Trust paying out soon, Employee Incentive plan paid out well this year!! Boeing allows one to take time to pursue an educational milestone, and rewards your success with valuable stock incentives. Where else can you get your pilot training paid for, and as a result of getting your license.... get stock issued to you? Get an associates degree, get 50 stock units. Bachelors, 100 stock units, Doctorate 100 more, etc. This company allow you the flexibility to advance if YOU choose too.

Cons

Layoffs!!!, the unknown of when you are on the chopping block
