Pros

Boeing is a great place to start your career. It can give you great early opportunities which allow you to learn. The benefits are great, and the people are great to work with. Despite the cons below, I would still suggest anyone to work at this company.

Cons

There are several hoops to jump through to follow through with any innovative idea or project. This suppresses the great engineering minds that are available. The company makes it difficult to change; however, that is exactly what it needs to remain competitive.

There is very little difference in the performance rewards between people who work extra hard and those who skate by.

Advice to Management

Invest in your own. It appeared that many employees were seen as numbers from the big scale, which may be true. However, having a "small" company feel, in which great employees are rewarded with promotions based on their hard work and value, would go a long way.
