Pros

Learning Together Program paid for the MS & MBA. Insanely great benefits, I have a pension--who outside the gubmint still has that?

Cons

This is a static/ shrinking industry that remembers when it was a growth industry. Those times are gone, but the business is still run the old way. This company is run like it was still 1965.

Pros

Excellent benefits. You can obtain any degree and take any course for your own future career path. There is 4% percent matching to your 401k. The medical benefits package is very diverse suitable for anyone.

Cons

Management is only looking out for themselves. You'll get a good pat on the back for a good job, but don't look forward to seeing a higher salary. A lot of favoratism when it comes to raises and good work assignments. Not really a stable place to work because they hire out of the blue and lay offs are lightening fast when no contracts are given to them. You have to be very alert when you work on a program and make sure you have something else to do when the program runs out of money.

Pros

There are a vast amount of opportunites to advance in the company. They work both commerical and military so you can choose the light side or the dark side, as one co-worker put it! I enjoy everything that is military and am somewhat of a boeing legacy child, both my parents worked for McDonald Douglass which later became Boeing, so I'm really intune with all things Boeing. Other perks that were great as an intern were the pay, the benfits and the work/life balance. I was making easy money as an intern and then easily put most of it ina 401(K) that you're allowed to start once you start in the company ( i got away with 30% matching two years in a row!). And finally I was able to leave at 4pm everyday, nice!

Cons

Although the pay was good I discovered that relative to other engineering majors I made far less and still did the same work, I found this very unfair. Another issue I found with my three seperate internships was the huge age differences. Many employees at Boeing need to retire and talk to their mother for me. Theses individuals, despite their extensive experience in the company did not know some of the most basic functions or applications on the PCs. I was happy to help them ofcourse. And since there is such a gap in ages, I was constantly ruled against when making deciosin, both for a lack in experience and a lack of age.
