Pros

Union backing for engineers in the Puget Sound area. Flexible scheduling. Little to no power struggles or personal vendettas.

Cons

The really nice benefits are basically all going away bit by bit over the years. They're moving to be in line with other companies compensation-wise, all while being decades behind in most other areas. Software is seen as overhead. They're honestly looking to farm out as much of it as possible. Not really any where to go with software as a career at Boeing.

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.
