Pros

Boeing is a huge corporation and provides great benefits and stability.

I have never been worried about losing my job and should be set for retirement just based off my 401k.

Payment for college classes and certifications.

Cons

Promotions have been frozen for several years now, and the reasons for the freeze do not make sense to employees.

For example, we lost a contract that has nothing to do with you or the money that comes in from the customer to pay you, so we are freezing all promotions in your career field this year (for the 4th year in a row).

Recognition is lacking, and training in new technologies does not happen, though they do pay for college classes and certifications, but not technology conferences.

Advice to Management

Recognize your talent, promote your people, keep up with salary trends, and stop saying "we are not a software company" when we do in fact produce software.
