Pros

Decent entry level pay, 3 day weekends

Cons

Benefits, upper and mid level management, human resources is a joke. Zero advancement opportunities unless you want to move into management or to a different field.

Boeing needs to learn how to hire and retain the best talents!

Pros

Quoting another reviewer here: "Reasons to work at Boeing: 1) you want your advanced education fully-paid by the company 2) you have external activities that require a lot of time and you do not need work interfering 3) you just need a paycheck 4) you are incompetent and cannot cut it working intelligently or effectively elsewhere"

Cons

Lots of incompetent managers, employees, and contractors. Too many employees who do not like what they do but stay because of low expectations from them. Lack of tools, vision, planning, processes, and innovation. Good benefits are distributed to all evenly (not based on the individual contribution) and so the base pay cannot be used to attract and retain a good talent.

Pros

Pay is good. Benefits are great. There is work/life balance. There is the opportunity to have multiple careers within one company, depending upon your discipline. The company is a huge supporter of continuing education and provides an abundance of resources.

Cons

Very political. Many opportunities are dependent upon who you know as opposed to being the right person for the job. It is difficult to implement change or new ideas to help the business because it's not 'aligned with how they have always done it.' There is also a strong culture of entitlement that acts a roadblock as well. There is a lot of redundancy that is perpetuated through the lack of clear and consistent communication throughout all levels of management. The systems are outdated and necessarily communicate with others which make the process of analyzing data manual at times.
