Pros

Good Benefits - tuition reimbursement (Boeing fronts the money not you, C or better, $150 for books and software which you front the money and submit your course outline then you can submit for reimbursement), 401k provided/managed by ING now(Boeing matches up to 7%), EIP - employee incentive plan (if Boeing makes EOY goals, employees receive a bonus of # of paid days (can run from 1 day to 24 days; last year received 10 days paid).

Cons

Advancement - tend to get stuck in the same job over and over again. Poor communication - most of the management does not flow things down to the "grunt level"; I usually have to go to other areas within my program to find information concerning me. No engineering rotation program - nothing for the college entry level to try different areas within engineering function so to get an idea what might best suit that person (Boeing is trying an attempt at this, but still failing....engineering function should work with the business functional area which has a wonderful rotation program).

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.
