Pros

While pay is average or slightly subpar compared to other high-tech companies in the area, Boeing has a good healthcare and educational reimbursement package. Retirement and 401(K) matching packages are again average or subpar compared to other comparable companies in the Puget Sound. If you are interested in work responsibility, the news is both good and bad. The bad news is there is a lack of experienced, direct employees at all experience levels, especially the senior level. The upside to that is depending on what program you work on, there are ample opportunities to take on work responsibilities/projects that can enhance your career growth.

Cons

Senior management have made some serious mis-steps on staffing, downsizing of industrial capability and current business models. In many instances it seems like they cannot learn from their mistakes.

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.
