Pros

Boeing can be very flexible and family friendly; depending on the organization you are with. The medical coverage, retirement plan, tuition reimbursement and pension are some of the best reasons to work for Boeing. You won't likely blaze a career or make above industry average in the IT groups at Boeing unless you have some solid relationships developed with some people in high places.

Cons

Boeing is a large corporation with a great amount of girth. First level management isn't really capable of helping you advance your career. You have to be a shining star and have some solidly built relationships with people who can effect change and are influential.

Benefits are great, base pay could be better.

Currently the major location with jobs are not attractive, pay should reflect the undesirable location.

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.
