Pros

Good work-life balance, opportunity to work with some of the greatest minds in the country, tons of learning opportunities, and company support for employee skill development.

Cons

Boeing hasn't learned from any of the severe safety issues that took place in recent history. Changing CEO won't fix this company because the infection is at the first-line management level. This company is far far away from being a company that puts safety of profits. For example, there are first-line managers who are denying promotions because there are no safety issues with the model that the individual is supporting. No safety issue means less work for that employee thus he/she cannot be promoted. This is sickening and it actually happened in 2024. Morale is very low in some teams. A lot of early career engineers are using Boeing as a stepping stone and I don't blame them. Senior engineers are always looking for voluntary layoff opportunities. Pay for early career engineers is low compared to the other companies. Benefits are average.

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.
