Pros

Lots of opportunities , as long as you have the motivation . they do have lots of commercial projects to work on , so you can have your pick from 737 , 747, or the new 787 to work on . If you have a broad experience about aircrafts you will right in , since they also deal with old Mc donnell douglas airplanes . the area around long beach airport is nice to work in , and you can' t beat the weather here in southern california . the beach is close by , and utilities are inexpenssive compared to other states .

Cons

Too big of a company

Pros

Firstly, the products, with over 6 different commercial aircraft and 160 different military products Boeing can fill a wide variety of interests. In addition, Boeing has a global reach allowing you to move around the country or the world as your life necessitates. The benefits are also amazing when one compares them to many of today’s top industries. 100% of all education is covered, an 8% match on 401k dollars, and flex time are just a few of the things that make my quality of life here at very high. Lastly, the people I get to work with are some of the smartest people in the industry.

Cons

Because Boeing is such a large company, they have a very hard time communicating with every individual on a consistent and positive manner. Several of the mechanism that Boeing currently uses are sorely out of date and unreliable. An additional item is the not invented here mentality that some of the different Boeing sites express to Boeing people from other sites. Boeing is doing a lot to fix this issue but still has a good way to go. These two issues are very much linked, as Boeing tries to act like one company, they are still communicating like several companies.

Pros

Great total compensation and vacation packages. They pay for your senior year of college for undergrads and will continue to pay as much schooling as you desire. Proud of the product that you produce as you look into the sky. Get the chance to work with very bright interdisciplinary setting. Boeing invests a lot of money in their employees. Very flexible work hours depending on group. You are bound to find people you like in the company as Boeing provides an abundance of resources for outreach groups, intramural sports, and a club for dozens of "random" activities. Very well rounded company.

Cons

Very large company and management gets very political. Very "American" and stubborn way of doing business. A very easy company for people to "skate" by without contributing much. Management didn't pay attention to the happenings of the team merely the end results that would make them look the best. Often times, office conflicts were never taken care of because of the minimal management visibility/availability. The company is currently very "old" as most of the workface is near retirement in the next ten years, making a large digital divide and age gap leading to conflict. Lots of office politics are involved.
