Pros
Firstly, the products, with over 6 different commercial aircraft and 160 different military products Boeing can fill a wide variety of interests. In addition, Boeing has a global reach allowing you to move around the country or the world as your life necessitates. The benefits are also amazing when one compares them to many of today’s top industries. 100% of all education is covered, an 8% match on 401k dollars, and flex time are just a few of the things that make my quality of life here at very high. Lastly, the people I get to work with are some of the smartest people in the industry.
Cons
Because Boeing is such a large company, they have a very hard time communicating with every individual on a consistent and positive manner. Several of the mechanism that Boeing currently uses are sorely out of date and unreliable. An additional item is the not invented here mentality that some of the different Boeing sites express to Boeing people from other sites. Boeing is doing a lot to fix this issue but still has a good way to go. These two issues are very much linked, as Boeing tries to act like one company, they are still communicating like several companies.
