Pros

Christmas Break. Usually I have been able to actually take this time off.

Cons

The average age is older, things move very very slowly. Many bosses have worked at Boeing for a really long time and haven't kept up with technology in the outside world.

Not a bad place for a new college grad, get experience and move on after a few years.

Pros

Not exactly cutting edge technology but I work with some really smart people and have learned a lot over the last few years. The pay is on par for the Seattle area and the work/life balance respected. Whlie management can sometimes have their head in the clouds regarding the current state of things, I have to say everyone has been fair. Overtime is expected when things are behind but this isn't different from any other shop.

Cons

Defense spending is down and there aren't a lot of places to go in the company right now.

This is what a "good fit" employee for the Boeing should be.

Pros

100% tuition reimbursement, employee incentive program, Share Value Trust (stock) award. It's one of the biggest players in the aerospace/defense industry. Management is pretty understanding when it comes to flex time, 9/80 work schedule, vacations, and working virtually (telecommuting). It's steady reliable work with steady reliable pay and benefits.

Cons

Base salary is on the lower end compared to competitors (such as Raytheon, Northrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin). I suppose the generous tuition reimbursement benefit is supposed to make up for it. Promotion process and internal hiring processes are murky, never quite sure what's going on. Time in grade in your job classification seems to be a very important factor. It's a big organization with all the bureaucratic red tape you would expect.
