Pros

- Company benefits are unmatched - 401K specifically is very generous - Very well-recognized brand, great resume builder - Compensation is great, regular salary adjustments and bonuses depending on company performance - Good place to start your career - Company is huge, so there is lots of opportunity

Cons

- Difficult to move up and around unless you're willing to relocate - Management varies from group to group and sets the tone for the organization; if you have a bad manager/senior management, then you're going to have a terrible time - Toxic culture comes from poor management; lots of internal 'reorg's - Bad people are promoted, which also creates resentment

Pros

- Ability to move to different positions in many locations around the Seattle area or the country - High levels of stability - Consistent pay - Good 401k - Lots of training opportunities and payment for extended education - You can go into areas with airplanes - Healthcare options are good

Cons

- The anti-pattern of a software company, it is waterfall through and through - Anyone that could lie well enough could get a software development job (because this has happened many times) - Massive slow bureaucracy and process - Innovation and creativity is shut down - A large amount of non-development work before you can potentially do work - Pay is less than other software jobs by a third or more - Any promise of being able to do interesting work is likely a lie - Your career will wither and die if you stay longer than three years - Your skills will likely atrophy while you work at Boeing - Heavy political environment results in fighting other people for work - Treats contractors less human than normal employees

Pros

The money and benefits are fantastic. The opportunity for Overtime is way above average. My base wage without overtime was about $85K/yr with overtime I made over $125K for 3 years.

Cons

It is loud and messy. Non-stop micromanagement. Employees, for the most part, are hardworking, but they don't get along. It is nearly impossible to get rid of toxic co-workers. Most management only cares about numbers.
