Pros

You will be a part of BIG THINGS.

Some very interesting work happens at Boeing, and if you pay attention to the company news, you'll see lots of interesting stuff happening within the company.

Cons

You will have no idea how you fit into the big picture.

There is a definite us/them mentality from employees to management; management doesn't seem to be part of the team.

While the overall benefits package is great, base pay seems to be below that of other companies working in technology.

Unions have created an environment where there are many employees approaching retirement in the next 10 years, and very few after that. The age distribution of employees is a saddle curve.

Advice to Management

If there is a vision for the future, and your organization is part of it, share your vision with the people working for you. It is very easy to feel lost in such a large company, and you quickly lose sight of the reason you are working here.
