Pros

Reliable paycheck every two weeks Very difficult to get fired World class benefits (401k, HSA, discounts, relocation, etc. Good work life balance It’s a great place to start your career especially as an intern to gain experience. Great opportunities for travel If you don’t like your manager you will probably have a new one within a year

Cons

You will probably not be recognized or appreciated for your contributions. It’s like crabs in a barrel, you have to be very intentional about finding a good mentor. It really is sink or swim. You have to switch teams every 2 years to get a substantial raise. Otherwise it is 2-7% annually. Very immature and unprofessional upper management and leadership at most sites. You probably wouldn’t believe the types of things that go on at this company, especially at k level and up. HR is not there to help you, they are there to prevent litigation from occurring. They advocate for seek speak and listen but will absolutely retaliate against you for doing so. Boeing is no longer an engineering firm, it’s a business and most people strive for middle management positions.

Pros

The company is so large you can experience multiple careers and companies under the same roof Good fringe benefits Depending on the job flexibility in hours Great people to be in the trenches with

Cons

Bad culture created top down by managers who know they’ll never be held accountable Any management that is good have their hands tied with all the bureaucracy and cut throat yes men they have to compete with for resources HR & ethics do not stand up for employees and whistle blowers, they protect management and the company above all else The company used to do annual surveys where employees would highlight these issues, management would then direct people to workshop them. Management would never do anything with the provided findings and the same results would show up next year. Eventually they stopped doing the surveys all together. They wasted lots of money hiring consultant groups that reported the same cultural issues and findings employees had raised for years. Loyalty and time at the company is rarely valued. Leaving the company and coming back or bouncing around a lot and not actually accomplishing much is rewarded with better pay and advancement. Many pockets the company are hamstrung in outdated technologies and poorly designed in-house tools or softwares The rigidity of policies and pros make innovation slow and serve as excuses for management to not pay competitive wages or give meaningful raises to even keep up with inflation Lots of rotating management had over 15 managers in 11 years. Steer clear of FINDABI leadership. Their insecurities/imposter syndromes set that whole department back years in productivity as they conspired to discriminate and fire multiple well qualified employees with strong formal educations and hands on experience simply because they presented a threat to exposing their poor understanding of technologies and strategic values.
