Like the actual work, but too many barriers. Misplaced recognition, some Sr Leaders out of touch. - Anonymous employee Boeing Employee Review

Pros

We are great at building big things, we are leaders in the system engineering process. Good to work with smart engineers.

Cons

Too much clock watching, to much bureaucracy and overhead. Sr Leaders beat on managers to be 'LEAN' but continually protect their own domains of inefficiencies . Favoritism so that hard work and results not enough, have to 'look good' and know people.

Pros

Fantastic benefits and work-life balance. 401k match is unmatched!

Cons

Easy to get pigeon-holed into a role. Try exploring ways to stay pro-active and do different things

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.
