Pros

You will be a part of BIG THINGS. Some very interesting work happens at Boeing and if you pay attention to the company new you'll see lots of interesting stuff happening within the company.

Cons

You will have no idea how you fit into the big picture. There is a definite us/them mentality from employees to management, management doesn't seem to be part of the team. While the overall benefits package is great, base pay seems to be below that of other companies working in technology. Unions have created an environment where there are many employees approaching retirement in the next 10 years, and very few after that. The age distribution of employees is a saddle curve.

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.
