Pros

This is a larger company and there are many opportunities if you do not like your current position. Note that this usually requires a move to a different location. Great benefits, pay, training opportunites!

Cons

There is a lot of competition to contend with and there are a large number of highly experienced people just about ready to retire, but not quite. Management is made up of a combination of legacy Boeing and legacy McDonald-Douglas. They have chosen a more risky method of putting together the 787 that puts a great deal of control/risk onto parts contractors/vendors. This takes away from their control and puts much of the cost and risk onto the vendor. This is supposed to be good, but seems to have turned out to be not that good as the contractors/vendors have not risen to these challenging levels of performance and are not putting FINISHED parts/assemblies on the delivery dock! This results in rather nasty assembly issues back at the final assembly location and lots of extra costs as Boeing Management sends engineers to the contractor/vendors to FIX the problems.

Pros

Benefits are great, base pay could be better.

Cons

Currently the major location with jobs are not attractive, pay should reflect the undesirable location.

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.
