Pros

- Relocation packages for working level employees - Quantity of locations from which to work - Decent Tuition Assistance for STEM fields - Improving Intern programs - Top level executives are above average - Work/Life balance above average

Cons

- Salary well below average - Continued cutting of benefits, health care plans/options - Ongoing contraction of overall headcount having significant impact on retaining good talent - Horrendous Middle Management - Promotions based on who you know, not what you do - No exit interview process - people are currently leaving the Company in significant numbers and no one asking why on the way out - Significant levels of bureaucracy crushes any vestige of creativity or ability to improve on a very large number of processes and procedures - No places for growth in current environment If you are a young person considering joining Boeing, look elsewhere. This is not the time to be joining the company and there are few, if any, opportunities for growth in the near future.

Pros

Work-life balance has been great at the Long Beach site. My coworkers are very considerate and supportive. Benefits suck as parental leave and 401k, Roth 401k, and mega backdoor Roth make it so you can really get ahead in terms of retirement building. They are trying to get better in culture and performance rather than some companies that don’t even pretend to care. During the pandemic there was no training. Now there’s some!

Cons

Base pay can be slightly lower than other companies for specific skills. Each site and each organization within each site has its own culture depending on who is the VP/executive team. There are so many executives it’s hard to get things done. Things move very slowly.
