      Not a place for developers

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Reimbursed tuition for (select) Masters degrees, flex time on some teams

      Cons

      This is not an environment for the young. It's a cubicle farm of code monkeys. Some teams are filled with really cool people. Otherwise, most engineers here have either been beat down to the point that they lack enthusiasm for the career, or they don't know that there are much better companies out there. You have to jump through loopholes just to get a decent mouse and two monitors. Relocation is a major pain (don't do it unless you literally have no other option). I've gone 45 days without my things so far.

      Deceived, lied to, just a warm body to fill a head count quota on a transitioning program.

      Pros

      The benefits are good. The workload coming into my state (I.e. Oklahoma) is plentiful and promising IF you can actually get the company to honor their publicized announcements.

      Cons

      Interviewed for a Software Engineer job, got hired from interview for a Software Engineering billet, yet I'm NOT doing Software Engineering. They hired ALOT of us as "Software Engineers" in Oklahoma for the incoming programs and the job assignments are not even close to being Software Engineering tasks. More along the lines of IT or Program Management, with a heavier emphasis on Program Management. If you are truly looking for a Software Engineering job where you are writing code, or participating in another facet of Software Engineering, GO ELSEWHERE. Don't waste your time with Boeing - you will be disappointed.

      Employment at Boeing is a complete waste of your life.

      Pros

      The only reason an intelligent engineer would work at Boeing is to work on their own projects. Since at Boeing it doesn't matter if you work or not, show up or not, care or not, or whether or not you are at all intelligent, there is no incentive whatsoever to do a good job. Hence, you can do whatever you want all day. The pros then are 100% life balance, and if you have a lot of outside interests this may be a good place for you.

      Cons

      If you want to do ANYTHING with your life, you won't do it at Boeing. Boeing is an archaic dump of a company that hopefully will get put out of its misery before the US taxpayers bail it out. Boeing is a big government company; you will only be promoted based on how long you have been there, not based on how smart you are or if you try or not. Everyone at Boeing sits around and chats all day; no one accomplishes anything. After a couple years at Boeing, you'll find yourself just riding out your career (even if you are in your 20s). Most people stay there 35 years and do 0 work. The union also makes it so no one can get fired, no matter how incompetent, and the hard working will never succeed.
