Pros
  • Great work-life balance.
  • Excellent health, tuition assistance, and 401k with up to a 6% match.
  • Vacation days accrue faster after 1, 4, and 10 years of employment.
Cons
  • Not much design work for electrical engineers.
  • Not really a creative work environment. It's more like doing it the same way each time and making sure you document it so that others can do it exactly the same way. Boeing is focused on cutting costs and saving time and money where they can. This is possibly a good business model, but may bore some people.
  • The culture at the site is pretty laid back. I haven't seen too many people work long hours. Most of the people that I have met are retired Air Force types, but Boeing does make an effort to diversify the work environment, so you get to interact with different folks from all walks of life.
Advice to Management

Let people work from home more often.

Create a clear path to a promotion and communicate it to your team.

Take away the dress code and let people wear whatever they want.

Other than that, it really depends on the particular manager you get, as some are "cooler" than others.
