Pros

The benefits are the best reason to work at Boeing. My health care package and 401K are better than the majority of my friends working at other companies. Also, if you want to to get a master degree or just take random classes, Boeing pays for all of it. It is one of the best continued education programs out there. Also, when times are good, it is pretty easy to move around and get a variety of experiences. Flex-time (9-80s and 4-10s) is an additional benefit that is quite nice.

Cons

The work statement for new employees often is not very interesting. Also, it seems like management is more concerned with the years of service rather than accomplishments of an employee when considering people for promotions. I have had numerous friends leave the company for one or both of those reasons. I am not a big fan of the vacation policy. You initially receive 2 weeks per year plus 2 weeks of sick leave. If you are like me and rarely get sick, watching all of the sick leave go unused while constantly running low on vacation is quite frustrating. In the end, I think Boeing is a great company for the right type of person. If you are into having small focused work statements, without much variety, this would be a great company to work for.

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.
