Pros

Outstanding programs and technologies. Excellent people to work with. Very open culture. The culture is very friendly to technology-focused people. Generally an engineers' culture.

I am finding out that the compensation package at Boeing is generally superior to other industry competitors. The benefits are pretty good as well.

  • Fully paid medical/dental
  • Pretty good insurance benefits
  • A generous company match on 401K.
Cons

Big companies often mean big bureaucracy. The tempo of projects can be slow due to government contracting and the complexity of the projects themselves. Non-technical people may not feel at home in the technical culture. Additionally, there are limited advancement opportunities for non-technical folks. All senior managers are engineers.

Advice to Management

Focus on the business rather than the lawyers. More focused training rather than shotgunning ethics and various "workplace" training topics.
