Pros

When I think of Boeing, the best things I think of are how stable and interesting the work is. There is a real respect among my peers for developing each other's skills on the job, and encouraging employees to grow. For technical employees, the Technical Fellowship program opens opportunities across the enterprise to contribute to product development and analysis. My team(s) are some of the best people I know from industry or outside of work. Boeing does a great job in the hiring process of filtering problems before they get a chance to be employees.

Cons

It is sometimes difficult to get needed support during periods of high demand. Aerospace in general is a "feast or famine" industry, and working in bid and proposal or research and development one tends to suffer from uneven internal funding and hence support can be a problem. Successful employees (who work B&P or R&D) learn to develop strategies to cope with this, but it can be costly to work/life balance. I don't have any particular negatives... I feel like Boeing does a good job of measuring my worth and compensating me fairly... but that's why I'm on glassdoor (to see if that's true).

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.
