Pros

The benefits are amazing and cannot compare to any other company that I see in the market place. The course reimbursement is a dream come true and I cannot say enough about the medical and the pension. If you like doing the same job over and over again - then this is the place for you!

Cons

As an employee you do not have an idea of what it takes to get move on to the next level which only leaves riding on a managers coat-tails and breeds the kind of 'yes-men' that you only thought existed in movies. The middle-age pot-bellied white male wins the day at Boeing.

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.
