Pros

Benefits good (but used to be unbelievable: Free 100% PPO, Free MS and BS degrees + 100 shares of Boeing stock when you graduate as a reward.

Cons

Back in the early 2000s, Huntington Beach was so crowded you couldn't find a parking space. Now, even with the absorption of the closed Anaheim facility, there are weeds growing in the parking lot. Guys with 30 years at P5 are forced to take 10% pay cuts and demotions to P3 or P4 - if they're luck to keep their jobs. A lot of work is moving to Huntsville, AL.No more Boeing Canoga Park, Irvine, or Anaheim. Seal Beach and Long Beach are on life support.Otherwise, Boeing is similar to any other huge company with its culture, processes, lack of harmony between different internal organizations, Boeing in SoCal is sinking like a Lead Zeppelin.

Pros

Boeing is a great company to work for, they offer competitive pay, great benefits, training, tuition assistance, travel in some positions and advancement opportunities world wide. Like most major corporation most positions require a degree, unless you have experience with aircraft from the military service or other aerospace company.

Cons

If you don't like moving about every 3-5 years advancement and pay increases are very difficult. Merit pay system is a joke is non existent, they peanut butter the raises across the board expect 3% on average every year. Management changes frequently so you have to prove yourself repeatedly. Due to business cycles layoffs are common. The corporate culture is different at every work site, lots of meetings many are unproductive. Some people slack at their jobs while the rest of the team is productive.

Pros

Good benefits for families. Some remote work was allowed. Immediate managers were good to work with but frequently had their hands tied from above.

Cons

Consistently release experienced developers in favor of entry level because they are cheaper. No incentive to perform well or gain experience. Meanwhile executive salaries keep rising.
