Overall a great company to work for, also a company that fits the stereotypes of a big company. - Electrical Engineer III Boeing Employee Review

Pros

Boeing has a great benefits package. Employees pay $0 for HMO coverage, and there are other plans available for small employee contributions. There is also a 401k and we usually get a pretty good bonus every February. Salaries are also competitive. You might make a little more working somewhere else, but you probably won't be working on something nearly as cool.

Cons

The worst part about Boeing is that it is a big big company and it fits all the stereotypes of a big company. Senior management likes to reorganize everyone every few years for little reason. It is also sometimes unclear what the future of various programs are, but I don't think any engineers have been laid off since I have been at Boeing, so that is good.

Pros

Fantastic benefits and work-life balance. 401k match is unmatched!

Cons

Easy to get pigeon-holed into a role. Try exploring ways to stay pro-active and do different things

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.
