Pros

There are many resources at the disposal of the engineer to properly execute his or her job functions. While it might be a little tedious in terms of making sure the paperwork is properly in order when making a design change, this is the case with all federal suppliers. It really isn't a drawback specifically against Boeing. Interoffice politics seems to be on the normal side for a company of this size. And of course, the main reason people decide on working at a large company like Boeing is the opportunities for training, education, and career advancement, which Boeing takes care of.

Cons

Sometimes projects drag on and lack enthusiasm

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.
