Pros

Boeing is one industrial leaders in the commercial airplane and defense sector. There are opportunities to work on the latest and the most cutting technologies up to date. Also, if you don't there like your position, there are tons of others that you can transfer to within the company. Since there is an employee union (SPEEA), it is almost impossible to get fired. (Not all engineers are part of the union, depends on the location). The union negotiates competitive salary and benefit package for the employees. It is a pretty safe and secure job if all you want is to get paid.

Cons

Since the company is so big, one is really hard to stand out or make a difference within the company/group/division....etc. The company is old and has its build-in culture and bureaucracy that will never go away. It is very hard to change things for the better. A new employee starts with only 80 hours of paid vacation for the first 5 years, 120 hours of paid vacation for 5-16 years, and stays at 160 hours of paid vacation after 16 years. The company always tries to take away or reduce the benefits from the employees. The food offer at the Boeing cafeterias are awful, expensive and unhealthy.

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.
