Pros

Work life balance = PLUS. Due to budget / cost issues, over time work is highly discouraged. So one will never have to work more than 40hrs in the business sector Free continuing education = PLUS. Every year, you do get an annual amount dedicated to just education like getting certifications/MBA/ etc. Benefits: Pretty average but you do have a range of options to choose from

Cons

Managers: Hit or miss. If you get a good manager, you'll be in good hands to move up. Bad managers will end up micro-managing and you'll hate the job for sure Bureaucracy: too many levels of approvals needed = work can never be done on time Lack of incentives/promotions: Boeing doesn't really promote or incentivize people to do better. Most of the younger professionals under 30 eventually leave Compensation: Many companies offer a better salary range than Boeing

Pros

If you show up to work, work a solid 37.5 hours a week...you can keep your job forever. Fantastic job security. Fantastic retirement benefits. The company produces cool products to be proud of!

Cons

Boeing finds a way to be MORE bureaucratic than the US government. All the highest up leaders preach openness and honesty, but instead you are told to stay quiet and comply with your hierarchical management team. Health benefits for non-Union are suffering dramatically. I no longer consider them to be a benefit. I have been a high performing analyst for 9 years with excellent year end performance review scores, but I don't "fit the mold" of what they envision management to be.... I don't see much career progression after 9 years.

Pros

Proud heritage, awe inspiring new and older products from a high tech or defense and space perspective. International opportunities.

Cons

Bleeding employees and more cuts coming for some employees at some levels of experience at virtually all US locations. Still able to hire more early career employees for future opps on some programs. Continued struggles to be affordable compared to Airbus.
