Pros

Good pay and benefits.

Lots of different areas to work in and jobs to do.

Cons

Process, process, and more process. Outsourcing of engineering work has really gotten out of hand.

Boeing engineers end up doing more project management work than engineering work due to the outsourcing (a positive if you like project management).

Like I stated above, there are lots of different jobs to do, but it's hard to get out of the one you're in if you don't like it.

Advice to Management

Please take a hard look at the business model of outsourcing almost all engineering and manufacturing work. I fear there will be dire long-term consequences.
