Pros

Outstanding programs and technologies. Excellent people to work with. Very open culture. The culture is very friendly to technology-focused people. Generally an engineers culture. I am finding out that the compensation package at Boeing is generally superior to other industry competitors. The benefits are pretty good as well. Fully paid medical/dental, pretty good insurance benefits and a generous company match on 401K.

Cons

Big company = big bureaucracy. Slow tempo of projects due to government contracting and complexity of projects. Non-technical people may not feel at home in the technical culture. Also, there are limited advancement opportunities for non-technical folks. All senior managers are engineers.

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.
