Pros

Health insurance, only 40 hours per week, small pockets of people who want to make things better.

Cons

Bureaucracy, cynical culture, failure to adapt to the modern world. Those with hope are beaten down and those beaten down beat others down. The culture is primarily negative, except a few people I've met who do a great job of making their teams positive. They are against the current, however, and I've seen them ousted frequently. Boeing is full of politics. From team leads to VPs, it's a battle for power and clout more than a coordinated effort to build great technology.

Pros

For context, I work on the defense side. The work is really fun and exciting with a lot of opportunities to grow. My team is close knit, supportive, and very passionate. Being a part of a union means paid overtime, which is really unusual for software.

Cons

Workload is insane. I often work weekends and have pulled 60-80 hour weeks many times. PTO is bare minimum. I have a lot of fun at work, but if I'm putting in startup-level effort, I should not be making well below market rate.
