Pros

Boeing encourages self-instruction, the ability to learn on the job, and the freedom to work on a variety of projects. If you would like to do something techy yourself, you don't have to wait on IT - you can generally do it yourself, and therefore build up skills on your resume. You don't get shot down like some employers do.

Cons

The unrelenting stream of work and demands never stops. The stress is constant. There is no way one would be able to finish their assignments within 40 hours a week. Additionally, hard-working, competent employees are punished with more work and more responsibility, while loafers and those who clearly embellished their skills while interviewing are "rewarded" with the ability to go home at the end of the day stress free.

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.
