Pros

Its a job. It might suit the slow and steady types *if* you are in the right project/department. If you get to assemble aeroplanes it might be a good job. However wouldn't advise to waste your time stalling your career here if you are a software developer for example.

Cons

Overall a low point in my career and life. Endless boring pointless corporate meetings. Endless corporate indoctrination/propaganda. Well below average working conditions (very cramped, noisy, uncomfortable office building). Old fashioned and American-centric culture. Not suitable for certain career paths.

Pros

Great place to get experience. There are some awesome projects to work on, and our products really make a difference.

Cons

Slow career progression. Salary growth lags far behind peers in the industry. Some programs can be severely understaffed.

Pros

The pay is above industry average and includes paid overtime. The benefits are among the best in the world - generous 401(k) match, healthcare plans, PTO, and educational reimbursements. If you work here a long time, you are guaranteed golden handcuffs. You will be almost immune to layoffs due to the union, your PTO only gets better with service, and you get minimum annual raises, even if you are a low-achiever.

Cons

The culture at Boeing is indescribably poor. Much of this is a result of the union. There is extremely low differentiation amongst employees. People who work their butts off receive marginally higher raises than those who do nothing all day long. Laziness that would result in immediate termination at other employers results in no action from Boeing because the union makes employees bulletproof, except in times of extreme layoff. It is better to look good than to be good here. Boeing hardly cares about the results you generate. Success is measured by showing up on time and being present in your chair for 8 hours a day, regardless of if you do any work at all during that time.
