Deceived, lied to, just a warm body to fill a head count quota on a transitioning program. - Software Engineer II Boeing Employee Review

Pros

The benefits are good. The workload coming into my state (I.e. Oklahoma) is plentiful and promising IF you can actually get the company to honor their publicized announcements.

Cons

Interviewed for a Software Engineer job, got hired from interview for a Software Engineering billet, yet I'm NOT doing Software Engineering. They hired ALOT of us as "Software Engineers" in Oklahoma for the incoming programs and the job assignments are not even close to being Software Engineering tasks. More along the lines of IT or Program Management, with a heavier emphasis on Program Management. If you are truly looking for a Software Engineering job where you are writing code, or participating in another facet of Software Engineering, GO ELSEWHERE. Don't waste your time with Boeing - you will be disappointed.

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.
