Pros

Benefits? Boeing has some of the best benefits around. Very family-friendly.

If you want a place to sit in a chair and do next to nothing, Boeing is your company. Once again, this is the most complacent and the laziest company I have ever seen. So if you love to do nothing, submit your resume now.

Cons

Time stands still. No career growth at all, yet they try to cram processed performance goals and objectives down your throat. Employees are lazy, incompetent, and as a whole, just waiting out to retire. Management at all levels is beyond ridiculous with the decisions that get handed down and the mistrust of employees. Good employees go bad here. The trap of Boeing is how easy your life becomes. Failure is not disciplined. Incompetence is not fired. But you get good benefits and pay and do next to nothing, sooooo...

All in all, it's a wash.

Advice to Management

Wow. There is none. I interacted closely with management at all levels and across multiple groups, and all I saw was incompetence. I am not talking about incompetence such as "That manager is dumb and doesn't know this piece of technical information." I am talking about people incompetence, budget incompetence, domain experience incompetence, technical incompetence, and most importantly, business decision-making incompetence.

So, as far as advice goes, there is no single piece of advice that can be explained in any terms to people who never have the capability to understand or implement the advice you are telling them.
