Pros

There are a ton of varied and technically challenging projects to go around. Overall employees are intelligent, friendly, and helpful. The benefits are great...we get a pension, 401k (with company match of 6%), completely free healthcare, tuition, 10 sick days, paid vacation, and the week of Christmas off. Another nice perk is the ability to telecommute and work flexible hours.

Cons

Vacation takes too long to accrue...we start with two weeks plus the week of Christmas and it takes nine years to move to three weeks. Our facilities are dated (from the 80s) and there are a lot of older employees. Boeing is huge (150,000 ish employees) so the bureaucracy can be annoying. There seems to be a lot of work that is duplicated around the company. We can't keep losing big contracts.

Pros

Benefits are great, base pay could be better.

Cons

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.
