Pros

Boeing stock is doing great

Cons

Boeing is cutting salaries and the opportunities for career growth are great if you are not male and not white. Boeing is a political animal and ultra focused on cost cutting and shuffling older workers out the door through strong arm tactics like cutting future pension valuations if you stick around. Likely there will be crying about all the retirees and not enough skilled workers so they need to pump up the H1B visa count.

Pros

Topnotch benefits, decent pay, wonderful colleagues, cool and innovative products.

Cons

Boeing is cutting its permanent workforce by ~25% through 2020, across the board, though largely in Professional and Corporate support function, so beware. Twice-yearly cuts are demoralizing, and inspire a sense of doom. You will change managers frequently (I had seven in six years). Leadership talks the talk but doesn't walk the walk. Every year brings a new set of cultural commitments, which are poorly implemented. Abeyance to Wall Street overrules everything. Overseas outsourcing and job relocations to cheaper wage markets is rampant. Manager support and overall quality is entirely dependent on which manager you have. Layoffs are typically older, more veteran workers.

Pros

Great experience working for a large corporation. Honestly this is a stepping stone company in my opinion. Every interview I had after working for Boeing the employer was excited I had experience working for Boeing. Benefits and 401k matching are great

Cons

Very grandfathered in business strategy, culture, systems, processes, and general attitude towards change. Strong and able employees begging for more opportunities are wasted because seniority is priority. Very slow career progression Poor salary all the way up the leadership ladder
