Pros

The company is hiring recent graduates, which will develop a better environment down the road. Working for this company will open so many doors if you decide to leave in the future. Benefits are top-notch, including a VIP (Voluntary Investment Plan) that is just unique. Education benefits are super nice. Work-life balance is amazing, according to the pay scale; when you are off work, it means off work. The company shutdown in December is amazing. When you start, you don't accrue that many vacation hours, but the shutdown is usually at the time when you need your vacation the most. Senior management usually gets involved with everybody, which makes you feel part of the culture.

Cons

At the moment, opportunities for growth depend on the site you are in and the amount of contracts the company is acquiring. The more you get promoted, the less technical you become, and at the end of the day, that could be a potential issue at the time of a layoff. Usually, you will be doing way more than what is required at your level, but, as I said before, this will help you develop a better resume, and you might be able to get a raise if you apply to another company. Boeing is very similar to the government regarding benefits, but they should implement a pension that is at least 3%.

Advice to Management

Management is usually amazing; this is the reason why the company is amazing. Management is there to help you develop your career in the way you want.
