Pros

Subsidiary of mega US Brand. Good to have in your curriculum vitae . Good if your work profile needs a lot of ppt presentations making . Good if you havent ever worked for a brand name company. Openings for leading edge tech like Data scientist, AI, Blockchain etc.

Cons

Bulk hiring, which has lead to hiring of many incompetent employees. US Boeing isn't aware of irregularities till now. You may find a extremely less experienced person at same position like yours. Thanks to the hiring targets recuiters are trying to fulfill. Name is hype. If your want to pursue managerial path this unit is great for you. India unit is taking pride in showcasing ppts and presentation to US bosses. If you like to pursue Technical path , you might b frustrated with the value given to colleagues who are doing just ppts and have zero technical competency. Reality check- many colleagues got assigned to teams completely unrelated to their entire career profile . Presumably because recruitment is driven by very high management and lower end managers dont know what to do with employees assigned to them

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.
