Pros

Boeing provides relatively good benefits when comparing with other defense companies. There are pockets of high-performing, very productive teams. If you can find a manager who cares, there is great opportunity to advance quickly.

Cons

Boeing is slow to react to change, no matter how beneficial the change may be. This is especially true in software, where "process change" is a bad word until a highly-paid consultant suggests it. Pockets of inept management. Poor infrastructure and tool set provided to software engineers. Often very little opportunity for career advancement.

Pros

There is a lot to learn, many projects/programs are CMMI Level 5 so you will have great support in producing reliable, high-quality software. In St Louis, there is also an internal rotation program for software engineers so that they can move between projects in the St Louis site by doing a simple, informal interview. Work-life balance is supported, software engineers are paid overtime, and in general flex time is allowed. Work at home is also allowed for some projects.

Cons

The software engineering population in St Louis is aging. The staffing profile is top-heavy, and for this reason they have announced a freeze in promotions for most software engineers this year. Some of the software is older, so if you're looking for cutting-edge software technology you may or may not find it depending on what program you're working on.
