Pros

Benefits are the best in the industry. The pension benefits, 401K matching, heath plan costs, dental plan costs, and vision plan costs are the best. The benefits when compared to other comparable defense companies can be worth a substantial % more in terms of compensation. Boeing sick leave is also the best in the industry.

Cons

Very limited promotion opportunities unable to compete on sub-contracts effectively. Unfortunately the Boeing cost structure is high, probably due in a large part to the cost of benefits to the company, resulting in companies priming contracts to not select Boeing.

Business Outlook

Pros

Nice benefits, especially regarding tuition payback for ANY course, not just for earning a degree.

Cons

There is a huge bi-modal distribution of employees at Boeing. Almost half the employees are within 5 years of retirement, and a large number of the rest are new hires/college graduates. The old-timers are thrilled to be using computers and CAD software at all, while the new people can't believe the software Boeing is using is older than the employees are.

Great benefits, all college tuition costs covered, interesting products, a lot of opportunities, easy to move around, generally encouraged to have broad experience.

Cons

Asked to do work that doesn't relate to job description, good ol' boys network, very disorganized, bureaucratic, management changes focus a lot, a lot of information withheld from employees, high performers not distinguished from low performers, pay isn't that great, company trying to dismantle unions, office politics is huge in final assembly and delivery, threat of layoffs.
