Pros

You will be a part of BIG THINGS. Some very interesting work happens at Boeing and if you pay attention to the company new you'll see lots of interesting stuff happening within the company.

Cons

You will have no idea how you fit into the big picture. There is a definite us/them mentality from employees to management, management doesn't seem to be part of the team. While the overall benefits package is great, base pay seems to be below that of other companies working in technology. Unions have created an environment where there are many employees approaching retirement in the next 10 years, and very few after that. The age distribution of employees is a saddle curve.

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.
