Pros

Great benefits.

Competitive salary for software.

Smart technical people.

Has "wow" factor - pretty awesome to build planes and weapons.

Software group encourages rotating to other positions.

Cons

Communication and social skills do not abound.

Doesn't feel as "fresh" or "cutting edge" as you would think.

Experience prior to Boeing doesn't count; people are "lifers" from the day they interned.

Terrible about software training; it's all on your own time.

Golden child syndrome in some areas.

Advice to Management

Walk the walk – especially regarding cost competitiveness.
