Pros: Boeing is probably not unlike many large companies, in that the employees' experiences will vary significantly across functions, sites, and programs. Some of the pros of the company are: - Employees have the opportunity to work on some very exciting aerospace platforms. - Benefits are good. - There is the opportunity to work with some very bright and passionate people.

Cons: - In the defense sector, especially, the company has simply not won many recent contracts. There have been recent voluntary and involuntary layoffs. - My current program has been very badly managed, resulting in consistently being behind schedule. Management's solution to this is mandatory overtime. This is not a positive work environment, to say the least. Again, this is my current program, and others that I have worked on were not nearly as dysfunctional. - The engineering staff is very top-heavy, and as a result, there have been very limited promotions recently.

Pros: Brand name company on the Dow, with products in commercial and military fields.

Cons: No pension contribution for new employees.

Pros: Smart people. Cool work & products.

Cons: Low salary, low-pace work style.
