Pros

I can’t think of any except work life balance and not even. Boeing expects you to work as a lead for 2 years before they promoted you to the level you are working. So in terms of work life balance you are expected to put in 50-60 hours while only working 40.

Cons

Morale is at an all time low for software engineers. Most to all people on my team and other teams are actively training for interviews in order to leave. The compensation is about half for the area so most software engineers under P3 make under 113,000 in San Francisco and along Beach California. They actually gave effective pay cuts this year! In addition, Boeing recognize the lazy employees and overachievers the same. They prioritize years of experience and age over talent ,performance, and skills. If you are looking for a job and want minimum compensation come here. If you want to be paid fairly don’t come here and if you want to grow your technical skills don’t come here. Boeing does everything it can to dumb down its systems so they don’t have to hire software engineers. Truly a horrible place.

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.
