Pros

1. Tuition coverage plan (called LTP) is amazing. If you want a MS or PhD in a technical field, Boeing will pay for all of your classes and materials (not a reimbursement program like most companies). However, you owe Boeing 2 years after your graduation date- otherwise you have to pay everything back. 2. Traditional medical plan is inexpensive, with a lower deductible 3. Better than average PTO plan 4. Company recognition means it is a good name to get on your resume

Cons

1. Great place to start your career as a recent college grad, and great place if you are happy with an OK salary and plan to coast. Company does not recognize or promote employees based on work load or work ethic; employees are asked to do P4/P5 work but get paid as a P1/P2/P3 if you are lucky. Salaries are much less than what you see in the private sector. Cost cutting efforts are focusing on taking away employee benefits (promotion opportunity, lower salaries, no more pension, medical plan slowly getting worse, etc.) instead of addressing the real issues (paperwork and supplier management costs)- the employees suffer. Many younger high potential employees are leaving due to lack of career growth or promotions. 2. Huntsville technical fellowship is a good ol' boy club; no support for minorities and no interest in diversity 3. Low salaries compared to other companies of the same type (LHM, NGC, etc.).

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.
