I love my job...most of the time - Software Engineer II Boeing Employee Review

Pros

The benefit package is nice, especially education benefits. If you want to get a degree in basket weaving, Boeing will pay for it. Can't beat the health benefits either, although costs are going up a bit. Most everything you could possibly need (medically) is covered, prescriptions as well. Retirement/pension package is decent.

Cons

Communication is sometimes difficult in a large company. Processes and red tape can be a nightmare at times. Overtime pay is not time + half...it's time + 6.50, which sucks. Overtime/stress can be great at times, depending on the project.

Pros

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

Cons

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.
