Pros

Boeing is a large company with a lot of opportunities. Certain job types (such as software engineering) and certain programs provide paid overtime and exceptional job security. The benefits package matches or exceeds that of most other large companies. A technical career path, equivalent to management, is available. The last week in December is paid time off. Good work/life balance in fields such as software.

Cons

Software salaries do not match those of other large companies. Vacation starts at 2 weeks and is slow to increase. Changes take a long time to work their way through the company.

Pros

Amazing team and management. There is a wealth of knowledge from multi-year veterans to tech-fellows and engineers who have been at this location since it was Douglas Jets.

Cons

Non-production facility. You don't get to see the planes come off the production-line like you would in the Seattle-area locations.

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.
