Pros

Compensation and Benefits are okay for the Seattle area. Boeing rewards education by reimbursing for tuition, etc. And when you get a degree Boeing awards stock.

Cons

Recognition is given sporadically. Management does not treat employees with respect, and treats competent employees just the same as incompetent or lazy employees. All action is taken to prevent litigation rather than to enhance the quality of the workforce - for example, the structured interview. The few managers who respect their employees and give their employees the freedom to excel at work, and who are therefore the popular managers, are ostracized by other managers.

Pros

Easy going, nice benefits, free further education (masters/PhD). Great for an engineer starting out who needs to dip their feet in the pool of engineering for a few years and to get a great 401(k) match at the start of your career (compounding growth). Great for late stage career due to the benefits and solid enough pay in a low cost of living area

Cons

pay-scale lagging, no emphasis on learning new things, no punishment for people who are bad at their job. After working for 4 years, I feel like I should have jumped ship after 2. I haven't been given meaningful work that really challenges me in a while. Now I feel pigeonholed into staying because I have enough years of experience that I really should be considered senior, but I haven't been given work that reflects what I senior engineer should be capable of. Now I'm trying to jump ship before it's really too late. If I stay here another 2 years I think I will be genuinely unemployable and will have to stay at this company forever.
