Pluspunten

There's a good work / life balance. It's one of the few companies that still has a pension and a 401K. I've always been treated relentlessly fair by my direct management.

Minpunten

At least in the commercial airplane side of the business, they apparently don't write IT software anymore. Management seems to believe that Boeing functional analysts + Boeing project managers + non-Boeing off-shore developers is the path to quality applications, despite all evidence to the contrary. If I was a software developer starting out, I would never choose this as a destination. And, oh yeah, there's a near constant threat of cutbacks and layoffs.

Pluspunten

Easy going, nice benefits, free further education (masters/PhD). Great for an engineer starting out who needs to dip their feet in the pool of engineering for a few years and to get a great 401(k) match at the start of your career (compounding growth). Great for late stage career due to the benefits and solid enough pay in a low cost of living area

Minpunten

pay-scale lagging, no emphasis on learning new things, no punishment for people who are bad at their job. After working for 4 years, I feel like I should have jumped ship after 2. I haven't been given meaningful work that really challenges me in a while. Now I feel pigeonholed into staying because I have enough years of experience that I really should be considered senior, but I haven't been given work that reflects what I senior engineer should be capable of. Now I'm trying to jump ship before it's really too late. If I stay here another 2 years I think I will be genuinely unemployable and will have to stay at this company forever.
