Pros

- Work on bleeding edge technology - Very meaningful work. The job comes with a lot of responsibility. Whether in the commercial or defense sector, people's lives are in your hands. That's something I take very seriously and use as motivation. - I've always had great bosses, laid back work atmosphere, have gotten along with almost all my coworkers - You'll work with a lot of smart people - Boeing is huge, so there's _always_ something new to work on, all over the US and world, if you're looking for an internal change. - PTO seems generous. You earn more at a faster rate as you become tenured.

Cons

- From what I understand, at least for software engineers, the base-pay compensation is lower than industry average (as of spring 2022). Boeing even admits this. Changes may be coming this year to correct that. They've also recently began offering RSUs to close the gap. - Boeing is huge, so there's a lot of red tape, lots of bureaucracy. This is also something they're aware of and are striving to be more agile.

Poor compensation, poor behavior

Pros

Desperate for people Stable enough to sign your paycheck

Cons

Low wages Low raises Quick to cut bonuses and benefits Chronic understaffing A lot of false talking to "safety" and "quality," any improvement to safety or quality that impacts budget or schedule is not of interest Priority is stock price always No repercussions to genuine homophobic/racist behavior because they can't afford to lose the heads Gutted the middle levels and is now losing the upper levels leaving a massive knowledge gap looming

Pros

Name brand company with huge network; stable hours; top notch benefits; great work-life balance; decent pay

Cons

Boeing is the definition of working for a corporation. There is red tape everywhere and the promotion process is terrible. The place is filled with "suits" and yes-men. I don't like the culture here; it feels like we are not keeping up with modern trends and the place is very set in its dated, old-fashioned ways. I would guess most millennials and Gen Z would feel frustrated here. It also is heavily geared towards engineering careers, which for me is a negative since I'm not an engineer.
