Pros

Boeing builds amazing products, and most of the time I am very proud that I work for Boeing. Great pay, decent benefits, but other companies are catching up.

Cons

Some of the higher level managers are horrible - micromanagers, or they lead with fear and intimidation, and yet they stay employed. Next time they have a lay off - start with them instead of the people getting the work done.

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.
