Pros

Steady 9-5 supporting work life balance. Vanpool benefits. Free step counter. Health benefits and 401k are ok. Amazing learning opportunities to understand what you DO NOT want in a company culture.

Cons

Low Salary not at all competitive with the marketplace. If you are young and work hard do not expect to climb the ladder quickly, you will be told that the dinosaur of a company will promote you in the dedicated time frames they have set in order to level up. Do not expect raises or bonuses comparable to how much effort you have put into your work. Especially if you are working on a program that is not doing well, you will get lumped into a bell curve that determines your performance. They completely lack the amenities of a decent company such as supplying tissues, office supplies, and water. If you would like filtered water pool you money together with coworkers and pay for it yourselves. As a woman working at this Good ol Boys Club was very frustrating. If you dress nicely (pencil skirts) you will be listened to in meetings, if you choose a pant suit you will be asked to take notes. I do not recommend working at Boeing if you are young and eager to learn. The world is your oyster don't take a steady 9-5 take the risk and jump in, you will be rewarded 10x over what the Lazy B will pay.

Pros

Easy going, nice benefits, free further education (masters/PhD). Great for an engineer starting out who needs to dip their feet in the pool of engineering for a few years and to get a great 401(k) match at the start of your career (compounding growth). Great for late stage career due to the benefits and solid enough pay in a low cost of living area

Cons

pay-scale lagging, no emphasis on learning new things, no punishment for people who are bad at their job. After working for 4 years, I feel like I should have jumped ship after 2. I haven't been given meaningful work that really challenges me in a while. Now I feel pigeonholed into staying because I have enough years of experience that I really should be considered senior, but I haven't been given work that reflects what I senior engineer should be capable of. Now I'm trying to jump ship before it's really too late. If I stay here another 2 years I think I will be genuinely unemployable and will have to stay at this company forever.
