Pros

Boeing is a huge engineering firm. There are so many different avenues to travel in Boeing so you never feel like you are limited to only one type of job. Boeing is also very flexible in letting you leave your current job to go pursue other systems and other areas. The company also will pay for any degree you want to get and you don't have to pay a single dime. Also, we have a super strong union (SPEEA) that protects your job more than any other union I have heard about in the world.

Cons

Work at Boeing can be very demanding at times and for people who have kids and a family this can be very stressful. The company also really needs engineers who are flexible so if you are an engineer who only limit themselves to one field then you may not be happy here.

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.
