Pros

nobody expects you to work more than 40 hours a week. If you are just looking to cruise through life and make a decent living its not a bad place. They used to have an awesome tuition program for continuing education, but it has been scaled back.

Cons

Not challenging, be prepared for layers of systems engineering bureaucracy, I engineered nothing but paper work. The place is a sinking ship with uncompetitive products run by old fogies that think because the place was innovative in the 70's they can lay back and relax. Non-compete government contracts are the cash cow that keep this place afloat, so managers are big customer butt kissers. definition of the military industrial complex

Pros

Free college education. Get it while you are there and move on.

Cons

Boeing has a senior work force ranging from 25 to 50 years. These people have been doing the same job the entire time. The Boeing workforce ,mostly seniors, is extremely threatened by new hires and will purposely set out to sabotage your work and your career. Boeing management knows about and does nothing about it. In fact, Boeing converted to Peoplesoft ERP system. The older workforce refused to learn the new accounting system, so Boeing paid the money to have a developer come in and build an interfact to feed the data from the new accounting system into the old system because their workforce refused to learn the new accounting system to do their work. Unbelievable.

Pros

A good place to go if you want a job where you don't have to use your brain or think. A good place to go if you want free flu shots, who cares if they are filled with mercury and result in a bunch of brain dead coworkers who don't even know how to perform simple tasks.

Cons

Working with morons who can't perform simple tasks. Everyone is afraid to do anything outstanding for fear of being squashed or laid off in the next rounds. If you're female, don't even waste your time thinking you are going to advance. Don't waste your time filing a discrimination complaint with HR, it will go no where.
