Pros

Benefits. Free health care and tuition reimbursement for any class you want to take. This is unmatched elsewhere. Strong company, because they have a strong footprint in both the defense and commercial industries. Therefore, in terms of job security, there is always work to do. Also, job mobility is very flexible. When you get bored of a project, there are a ton of other groups that are willing to take you on for different projects. Easy to move around horizontally at least.

Cons

BIG company. When you work on something so large like the 787, it is hard to see what exactly you just contributed to the project. Sometimes, you feel like just another number.

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.
