Pros
Boeing IDS or the whole company for that matter, provides unlimited opportunities for career advancement, technical skills and personal growth. If you dedicate your time and attention to helping the company achieve its business goals and objectives, it will help contribute toward you achieving your career and personal goals and objectives. It is not always about the salary (though that is no doubt important), but it is also about the awesome benefits the company provides from medical, dental, retirement savings plan and college reimbursement plan, etc.... Some have posted it is a good company to start a career and I say it is also a good company to continue and end your career at. In my 23 yrs there has been a lot of blood, sweat and tears; the thrill of victory as well as the agony of defeat; I would not have it any other way. The successes and achievements far outweigh any difficult times I experienced on the various assembly lines, working for various management and working in various countries. My career and benefits have enabled me to bring five wonderful children into this world, purchase four homes and enjoy wonderous vacations....so yea, you can say I have lots of reasons why Boeing is a great place to work.
Cons
I can't really say there are any, other than the occasional manager who has not figured out his/her employees are the most valuable asset they can have.
