Pros

The Boeing Company offers great benefits and support for interns and new hires. In addition, there's a sense of company pride and camaraderie. Also, nothing beats working on some of the greatest aircraft in the world.

Cons

The starting salaries are not very competitive for engineers and very difficult to negotiate. If you believe your time is more valuable than they can offer, I would suggest going elsewhere.

I like the people I work with; change within an aging workforce can be challenging, but I wouldn't work anywhere else.

Pros

Awesome education benefits! Zero cost, comprehensive medical/dental insurance. The company wants people to enjoy their work, and if they don't, they try to place them in a position within the company that they will enjoy. My family and I have always felt Boeing has taken very good care of us; we feel secure career-wise

Cons

There can be a crazy amount of beaurocracy! There is an aging workforce, so there are many employees (and managers) who are just "camping" until retirement. This makes change difficult, as innovation can feel as if it is discouraged. However, this will pass, and there will be many opportunities for those who are still there.
