Pros

Access to the production floor was an amazing experience.

Cons

Inadequate and very poor management involvement. Hired to make decisions but was held back because the middle management chain upwards had too many people who required to approve every decision. Every reject would be sent back down to my desk which increased the time and effort. The new decision would then go up the chain again and be rejected by another middle manager who approved it the last time. Down it would come again and sent back up with yet another reject. It is amazing that Boeing even can complete an aircraft for delivery. If you a fortunate enough to locate a job without unnecessary middle managers you may be at Boeing for a long time a become lost in their system as a number and not a person. So many people just set around and do very little work.

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.
