Pros

The best thing about Boeing is that they are a family type environment. I have never had an issue in getting time off to go on vacation or to handle any type of personal situation. The best thing about Boeing was the full tuition reimbursement, but they have completely altered the program, which is now capped at 15K a year and comes with a 2 year commitment

Cons

Completely bureaucratic. If you are looking to try to advance quickly then this is not the place for you. They will give you the opportunities, but the promotions and pay don't follow your increased work load. Too many people here are content just doing a satisfactory if not below satisfactory job.

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.
