Pros

Boeing has great benefits. They will pay for any college courses you want, whether it is a music class at the local community college or working on a new degree. The classes are not required to be related to the job. Also, the health benefits are better than I have heard of at any other similar company. Another reason to work for Boeing is the vast knowledge base of the engineers there. If you are a young engineer looking to improve your skills and knowledge of engineering what you will learn here is far better than you will in any classroom.

Cons

I felt like the management there has trouble seeing big picture problems. By this I mean they will be so focused on meeting schedule that they will make decisions to complete a task poorly, to check it off their schedule, and that work will need to be redone later. If they saw the big picture, they would of made a better decision a day late and saved a ton of future work down the load. I saw these kind of decisions over and over again. It's not good for moral when management works this way. Another downside at Boeing is the salary. I didn't feel like the monetary compensation was as good as it should of been. I also thought the annual pay raises were a bit low, but the amount of any raises are partially dictated by the enginnering union.

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.
