Pros: Flexibility between programs, great benefits, and consistent raises.

Cons: So much bureaucracy, your experience really depends on your first-line manager.

Pros: - Great salary and benefits. - Variety of positions, work, and locations, even within the same function if you seek them out. - Achieve technological marvels as part of a larger team.

Cons: - Limited opportunity for advancement. - Hit or miss with management; I've had great and poor managers. There seems to be little accountability, and this can make a big difference to the overall experience. This is also true for lead engineers. - Bureaucracy/hierarchy limits the amount of innovation/challenge one can take on. - Boeing is struggling with its culture between innovation and manufacturing.

Pros: The potential to work in interesting programs, or if not, can be a relatively stable job if the company is doing well.

Cons: Big company with many employees, so getting a transfer can take some time.
