Boeing

Great learning and career opportunities, health benefits, 401k, etc.

I was initially hired as a 787 movable trailing edge design engineer. I wasn't crazy about the position, so with my team's need for more stress analysts and my expressed desire, my manager helped me transition into a stress analyst role, which I found much more fulfilling.

I had a great team and felt that my opportunities were ample.

Come on -- free coffee is pretty standard. And walking a mile from the parking lot way over there after I've already commuted from Seattle to Everett (and that's assuming I made it in before 8 am, otherwise you're miles away and have to wait for the slow shuttle).

The cafeteria food was palatable but leaves much to be desired. If parking weren't such a pain, I'd opt to leave campus, but as it was, I mostly brought my own lunch.

My manager was great. He organized team-building events and always had a positive attitude. I didn't stay long enough to interact with many other managers.
