Pros

Boeing has spent decades creating processes and systems on how to do things, so they are organized in that manner. The time off was generous and the 401k was awesome.

Cons

Always in a downward, from the day I joined there was a looming threat of layoffs, it was emotionally trying. Never exciting or innovative, leadership was incapable of making decisions that could benefit the company, they just sat on ideas. It didn't matter how hard a person worked, promotions were capped for years. Asking to explore other departments was impossible because everything is in a silo and many groups don't mingle outside of their group.

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.
