Pros

- Exposure to complex, large-scale aerospace programs with meaningful responsibility - Many capable and dedicated engineers who care about quality and execution - The Boeing name provides a strong foundation early in a career

Cons

- Compensation often trails comparable roles in the market, especially over time - Career progression can be slow and not always clearly tied to performance or impact - The Learning Together Program (LTP) supports continued education, but additional degrees or certifications do not consistently translate into increased scope, compensation, or advancement - Decision-making processes are often layered and slow, which can make execution more difficult than necessary - Organizational and program challenges can contribute to a sense of stagnation over time

Pros

Vacation accrual is amazing and no one questions if you need time off. Great team rapport and connections made here. Excellent processes and systems that support getting our jobs done.

Cons

After leaving Boeing, my final W2 was incorrect. I was unable to talk with someone to help rectify the information, and was continuously denied the ability to speak with someone about it. This was due to a phone number change, and the only way you can be verified is through a text on your phone. Since I no longer have that phone number, I was told I could not speak with anyone to rectify the information. I sent paperwork in (via snail mail) to get this rectified and after months, it is still not rectified. I will be unable to put the correct W2 on my taxes and this is an issue, as the W2 was materially wrong. In addition, I was paid under market for over 15 years at this company. New hires were being brought in at significantly higher salaries with little to no experience, and the company rarely gave me more than a 2% increase. Finally, bonuses are promised, however since there are so many issues with senior leadership, I rarely saw the full bonus amount.
