Pros

The pay is better then any of the other Defense businesses out there, and the benefits package is great. I have really taken advantage of the opportunities to go back to school and take other professional education classes at Boeing expense.

Cons

To much of the business is moving to suppliers, eroding away at the companies technical competence and manufacturing capabilities.

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 Several of the mechanism that Boeing currently uses are sorely out of date and unreliable.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.
