Pros

Very nice folks at Boeing.

Interesting and hard problems to solve.

Good work hours and environment, with the chance to do a variety of things because Boeing is so big.

Cons

Software methodology is not consistent across the company and is mostly out of date.

Boeing doesn't consider itself a software company and doesn't prioritize excellence in this area as highly as it ought to.

They're still using waterfall in some places and just starting to think about switching to Agile in a few places, when they should have switched years ago.

Advice to Management

Allow junior software developers who are into open source and agile development the chance to help shape the Boeing software development process.
