Pros

Good benefits program for interns.

Cons

They allow their managers to lie to their interns. They can tell you that they will let you come back to the company without any complaints. Then they are allowed to change their minds and bring up things that were never addressed to you when asked by HR. The only way you get promoted is if you spend practically your whole life at the company. Company culture is very old and not attractive to younger people. They have managers that don't encourage you to explore other areas of the company and deny you the opportunity when you ask about it. They have poor placement and development programs. They put people in departments that aren't even relevant to their degree of study, and you don't learn anything new. A lot of the people that have stayed in the company longer are complacent and play games on Facebook during work hours. There's a reason why they're called the "Lazy B" in the aerospace industry. They are not considerate to tell people that most interns are located in Everett or Renton. Their end of the summer report out event was not helpful at all. Almost all of the full-time managers and VPs that come don't even seem interested to talk to you. Their interactions aren't genuine.

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.
