Pros

The best reason to work for Boeing Integrated Defense Systems were the perks; not the health insurance (which was great), definitely not the pay (which was average at best), but for the education expense reimbursement program. That was the BOMB! It was a gravy traing!! You could take any classes you wanted, and the company paid for it 100%!!! Of course, all good things have to come to an end, and that program was shredded to peices by senior management. By the time the "new & improved" program emerged, it was literally unrecognizably cheap!

Cons

Working in thee finance department was a joke. C'mon, who really needs a $80,000+ college degree to add and subtract in excel? All the different finance functions were more of the same; excel, excel, excel; and don't make a mistake, because if you added a single number wrong, management would have your kidneys removed by force without anesthesia.

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.
