Pros

Job Security. You get paid to do nothing all day. Decent benefits, but theses are getting cut year by year. Work from home, but this is going away. You get paid enough to keep you happy if you have no ambition. They still have flex time, which is nice.

Cons

Not challenging. Impossible to move up in the company. Absent career development. The company has no vision where it wants to go in the future. They just churn what has worked in the past. Promotions are time based, and not achievement based. Horrible culture, everyone at Boeing hates working there for said reasons.

Pros

Fantastic benefits and work-life balance. 401k match is unmatched!

Cons

Easy to get pigeon-holed into a role. Try exploring ways to stay pro-active and do different things

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.
