Vantaggi
Honestly I can't think of many pros about the company. I guess benefits would be it. The 401k match is phenomenal as well as the healthcare and sick/vacation time are good. If you care about anything besides benefits, like pay, quality of life, being challenged, not working for horrible managers, or anything else, then Boeing is not the place for you.
Svantaggi
Where to begin?! I was an intern here for 3 summers and now am back for fulltime. Don't make the same mistake I did. Everyone thinks this company is so cool and innovative and would be awesome to work for but that couldn't be farther from the truth. I am an engineer here and just like about 99% of the company, don't get to see or work on anything cool or innovative. We all work on old jets that are getting upgraded and are pretty much just paper pushers. I went to school for TWO engineering degrees to fill out paperwork all day?! Also, the management and executives here are awful. Can someone say bureaucratic?? Okay, so all managers here don't suck....but most do. They are micro managers, know nothing about the jobs their team members do, and are just in it for getting to the next level. This company really needs to take a better look at who they promote into management and executives. My manager once told me I needed to tell him before talking to HR about anything......oh and also I have to tell him every time I leave the building. INSANE right?!?! This place is also slower than a snail. Yes, aircraft are complex, but damn we move so slow it is a wonder how we ever made jets and sold them back in the day. It takes about a million signatures and approvals to get anything done around here. Everyone is always sad and crabby here and talks about how they wanted to leave long ago but basically got stuck in the slow and awful aerospace industry and really didn't want to leave the benefits. Don't let that happen to you!!! Take my advice. Stay far away from Boeing. It is truly the most boring job I have ever had and I really tried for so long to make the best of it and see the light that I thought everyone else here saw, and now I finally have my ticket outta here. There is so much more to write but I will leave it at this. Boeing is not this awesome and amazing place to work that so many people think it is. Especially if you are early in your career. You wont have meaningful work and the work you are given to do will not help you in your career anywhere else. Think long and hard before coming to work at Boring...oops I mean Boeing.
