Pros

Union backing for engineers in the Puget Sound area.

Flexible scheduling. Little to no power struggles or personal vendettas.

Cons

The really nice benefits are basically all going away bit by bit over the years.

They're moving to be in line with other companies compensation-wise, all while being decades behind in most other areas.

Software is seen as overhead. They're honestly looking to farm out as much of it as possible.

Not really anywhere to go with software as a career at Boeing.

Advice to Management

Get with the times. Red tape is killing development at your company. Nobody in software wants to work at your company because you have no clue what you're doing.

Either invest a lot more in software, or just farm it all out.
