Pros

Challenging jobs with good engineering content. Contact with the Air Force customer. Good inter- group working relations. Fairly stable employment. Good benefits package. More often rthan not good co-operation with other groups on joint knowledge, ventures and ideas. Good internal systems engineering group that seeks out new concepts, has contact list of experts or groups to assist in design or research. Phantom Works outstanding.

Cons

Larger groups within IDS get more of the good jobs and recognition and research and development money. Posted jobs for possible transfers are really for an already selected candidate a lot of time. Not invented here syndrome with certain groups, locations, individuals which means you don't get an honest chance for new concepts, or later work..

Pros

Depending on the funtional area within Boeing and your level of ambition, assertiveness and tolerance, you will get exposure to a variety of tasks, responsibilities and employees/managers at various levels to develop professional skills, knowledge and networking opportunities. Boeing also offers a great tuition reimbursement plan for any course regardless of its relation to your job or the business overall. And job security is more stable that other industries.

Cons

But the cons carry much weight and will become a roadblock. The 'Ol Boys Network is strong and thriving well. What helps to sustain this Network is the fact that a good portion of the women tolerate it for various reasons. Aside of the Network, organization of work flow and standardization of documents/processes after the initial contract awards through to A/R are lacking so incoming cash flow is below its potential. Being reactive, rather then proactive, is more commonplace and acknowledged. Regarding recognition, the focus is on fixing mistakes while dismissing the balance of rewards for a job well done. Seriously evaluate the pros and cons of the culture, organizational structure and operations against your employment preferences. This is especially applicable if you are seeking a culture that supports and develops ambitious, smart, hard-working employees, of both genders, with leadership, integrity, self-respect and potential.

Pros

The benefits are excellent. It is one of the few companies that still has a pension plan as well as a 401k. In addition, the education benefits are the best anywhere. With very few restrictions, they will pay for any class/degree at any accredited institution of higher learning.

Cons

As with many large contractors, programs get over-promised and then reality sets in and it becomes a scramble to maintain budget and schedule. Turnover is also an issue, especially for new hires, whether due to work environment, company culture, or a lack of opportunities to advance.
