Many opportunities, but effective self-promotion and networking needed to get ahead
Pros
Competetive salary and benefits, and even the scaled back education reimbursement is still valuable. Along with many opportunities to see different professional put together incredible products is the need to for effective (even agressive) self-promotion and networking to move ahead or to have your valuable ideas. Start networking and looking forf mentors day 1 and your satisfaction will be maximized.
Cons
As a younger employee, I spent more than a few all nighters getting the job done. I advanced rapidly by working long and hard. As an experienced employee (like many others) I didn't work as late and struggled to have my ideas heard or acted on. It's typical at at almost any company and a challenge for most middle managers for diverse experience to be heard, appreciated and acted on - Boeing is no exception.
