Pros

Boeing encourages self-instruction, the ability to learn on the job, and the freedom to work on a variety of projects. If you would like to do something techy yourself, you don't have to wait on IT - you can generally do it yourself, and therefore build up skills on your resume. You don't get shot down like some employers do.

Cons

The unrelenting stream of work and demands never stops. The stress is constant. There is no way one would be able to finish their assignments within 40 hours a week. Additionally, hard-working, competent employees are punished with more work and more responsibility, while loafers and those who clearly embellished their skills while interviewing are "rewarded" with the ability to go home at the end of the day stress free.

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.
