Pros

Some benefits, really cool products built.

Cons

Want a career where you choose your jobs? Not here. There are near constant reorganizations. Want to be promoted? Sorry, also not the place for you unless you are right out of college. Salary increase? Oops, that only comes with promotions. Same manager who wants to help you achieve your career development? Sorry, you'll go through an average of one new manager every 6-8 months. In the past 10 years, either health insurance premiums have either gone up, or the benefits covered were reduced. Save yourself the trouble. The only thing "cutting edge" about Boeing is the ingrained level of taking advantage of employees while simultaneously making you grateful you survived**this** round of layoffs. "One Boeing" doesn't exist...Your pay and benefits vary by which of the 80+ unions, or locations, or business units you support. Even though the merit rating scale includes a "far exceeds" it is so mythical that no one I have met (including those working two levels above what they are hired as) has achieved one.

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.
