Pros

While working at Boeing you have the opportunity to work on some products that truly change the way people live around the world. That's an exciting thing to be a part of. Boeing also promotes a good work life balance.

Cons

As a young high performing employee, moving around the company is difficult. Boeing does not do a great job at providing early career employees opportunities to move into other areas. This ends up pushing early career employees to leave the company, often after working just a few years. Many of these employees come back later in their career for the stability and work life balance.

Pros

Easy going, nice benefits, free further education (masters/PhD). Great for an engineer starting out who needs to dip their feet in the pool of engineering for a few years and to get a great 401(k) match at the start of your career (compounding growth). Great for late stage career due to the benefits and solid enough pay in a low cost of living area

Cons

pay-scale lagging, no emphasis on learning new things, no punishment for people who are bad at their job. After working for 4 years, I feel like I should have jumped ship after 2. I haven't been given meaningful work that really challenges me in a while. Now I feel pigeonholed into staying because I have enough years of experience that I really should be considered senior, but I haven't been given work that reflects what I senior engineer should be capable of. Now I'm trying to jump ship before it's really too late. If I stay here another 2 years I think I will be genuinely unemployable and will have to stay at this company forever.
