Pros

Lots of areas to grow your career. Big company.

Benefits are solid. 401k match is very good.

You are only expected to work 40 hours a week. Work-life balance is very good. If they need you to work more than that (hardly ever happened to me and was almost always on a volunteer basis), they'll pay you overtime.

Cons

Boeing's a great engineering company, but they are not a software engineering company.

As such, software is of secondary importance to them, and IT still seems to mostly be seen as a cost center to be minimized rather than an area for enabling the improvement of how we do business.

Currently, Boeing is laying off a lot of people.

Advice to Management

Maybe don't spend all of your free cash flow on dividends and share buybacks so that you have a rainy day fund when things like 2020 happen.
