Pros
- Good salaries for new hires - Tons of different career choices; if desired, one could move from engineering, to finance, and then to marketing. Boeing is good about career freedom. - You can learn a ton on the job without prior knowledge - benefits package is top notch compared to other companies I've surveyed - Flexibility to spread your 40 hrs/wk out in a way that suits you best as long as you get your work done (this perk is manager dependent) - Know that your products are changing how the world works
Cons
- Company preaches its core values, however, cost and schedule always beat out quality. **Note; quality does NOT equal safety. Boeing definitely prioritizes safety first** - Feedback loop for engineers is non-existent. Product development engineers tend to hop around from one project to another without sticking around to see if their designs resulted in problems. Results in perpetuating poor design choices. - Poor compensation for 5 year employees and up. - Very slow to adopt change - Still has the "old boys club" mentality
