Good company, maybe not good for cyber
Pros
Pretty good company culture, love their REACH program to get people involved and social outside of work, but very work focused. Benefits can't be beat with the 401k matching and love flex time. Great work/life balance.
Cons
Promotions, bonuses, and advancements are virtually nonexistent. This has been especially true since the company's 737 max disaster. I joined right after it happened and the company's definitely been struggling. The fact Boeing got a payout to be saved during the COVID and 737 max crisis made me lose faith in the company. The recent trend has been to hire from outside the company rather than promote from within which is disappointing. Specifically, cyber is not great at Boeing. I switched site locations to try to get exposure to more engaging and interesting cyber work but just got more of the same -- scanning, auditing, compliance, and reports. Very tedious, boring, and hum-drum. I honestly believe I have learned nothing new in technical skills for the last 2-3 years; it's just more of the same, cybersecurity-wise. It's not great for growth in the cyber field and I plan to leave soon so I can get exposed to more of the various different realms of cybersecurity that Boeing doesn't seem interested in exploring. Additionally, could be getting paid much more for what I am doing. Salary is lower than market on average, which again points to Boeing not valuing cyber professionals in general.
