Pros

Engineers get to see and do some really cool stuff. 10% 401K match, education benefits are great. Great for inclusiveness, Boeing has made a point to emphasize diversity (including race, gender identity, LGBT+, disabled, and veteran status, etc) There's a place for nearly anyone at Boeing.

Cons

Slow to design and build anything, bogged down by meetings and spread too thinly across myriad sites. Inexplicably targeted dual monitors as the sole cost overrun for 2022, asking new hire engineers to accept worse hardware working for one of the largest firms on the planet than most of us have at home.

Pros

Excellent work-life balance compared to many aerospace companies. Good benefits (healthcare, retirement, PTO).

Cons

- Five days per week in the office - Parking can be challenging. - Working across multiple time zones (U.S., Brazil, India) creates coordination overhead - Compensation is not competitive for the Seattle area. - Limited opportunities for meaningful career growth. While there are internal career paths, I haven't found many opportunities that align with the technical challenges and responsibilities I'm looking for - SPEEA's seniority-based structure can slow advancement for newer employees - Programs have very long development cycles, so it can take years to see your work become a finished product - Less exposure to cutting-edge technology than companies focused on emerging products (space, medical devices, AI hardware, quantum computing, etc. Significant bureaucracy and slow decision-making
