Boeing Employee Reviews

Plenty of opportunity for success. Lots of different jobs, anything from semi skilled labor to, literally, rocket scientists. If you have initiative, Boeing can be a long term rewarding career.

Good benefits, overtime if you want it.

Toolmaker/Machinist (Former Employee) - St. Louis, MO - December 3, 2023

Had a good experience there, it’s not terribly demanding. You’re able to make a decent income and have weekends off. If you want the weekends they’re usually available. Tooling mechs are the highest paid. Starting rate for a experienced is low in my opinion but it’s a steady, interesting, clean job.

crazy good pay and benefits. lots of opportunity to improve yourself.

Aircraft Test Technician (Former Employee) - Everett, WA - December 1, 2023

Boeing used to be a great place to work. if pay and benefits is all that matters to you then it is still a fantastic place to work management is driving the company into the ground currently. the company has switched from a company that wants to make good high quality aircraft to a company that only cares about how much money they make. quality is down and leadership only blames the employees without actually fixing anything or doing anything about those actually responsible.union means really good pay and benefits but also means those who don't want to work are protected. Union has been slowly getting rid of most of the good benefits( such as pension) for the last decade or so.

Pros

good pay, good benefits

Cons

everything else

Great place for family

Machinist (Current Employee) - Helena, MT - November 29, 2023

Very flexible hours with plenty of time off. Work life balance is easily achievable. The work itself as a machinist is very monotonous, your job is to come in and work on the same product line every day.

They try

Product Reviewer (Current Employee) - Heath, OH - November 29, 2023

My coworkers and senior leadership have made it a fun place to work at but there is still areas to improve. Overall, as a site, they still have a lot of growing to do.

Well if you get hurt, you will get screwed over. Badly. Overall. It might be fun for awhile, but it's not worth it.

Aircraft Paint Technician Level B (Former Employee) - Charleston, SC - November 28, 2023

What is the best part of working at the company?The benefits are the only good thing about boeingWhat is the most stressful part about working at the company?Working under management that have no experience in what they are managingWhat is the work environment and culture like at the company?Everyone gets offended by anything. Word on the street (cuz people have been disciplined for saying) gal and boy are offensive words. What is a typical day like for you at the company?Most buildings everyone is micro managed. A lot of new hires act like they know everything and yet have no clue and screw everything up, blame it on everyone else and yet everyone has to redo that persons work… often. At least 2 people per shift screwing stuff up.

Place sucks coworkers 1 step above prisoners

plumber (Former Employee) - Everett, WA - November 25, 2023

If you enjoy huffing multiple different solvents and other nasty chemicals this is the place for you. Union mmbership is mandatory. the work can be very dangerous, cramped quarters and opportunities galore to break bones or body parts

For me and the many years of experience, it has been awesome until recently.

Information Systems Technician (Former Employee) - Salt Lake City, UT - November 21, 2023

What is the best part of working at the company?The company is going through a lot of changes. The best part from my perspective it the skills I have learned and can take with me for future jobs.What is the most stressful part about working at the company?The company is big on consolidation and sourcing so you never know what is going to stay Boeing or get sourced or laid off because your function was sourced.What is the work environment and culture like at the company?The work environment and culture changes from site to site. The company is big on family. A lot of people are constantly on edge and lately as the sourcing and back stabbing to prop one up to make some look good at the cost to the companies profits.Right now I can not say that it is a good company to work for with not knowing if you will still be working for them tomorrow. What is a typical day like for you at the company?Do as your told do not bring up risks and do not bring up problems. You get lectured and targeted as a problem if you try to prevent shutdowns in the company.The manager tells you to press the enter key you press the enter key. If a space key or a letter key pops up and is going to cause problems, ignore it and let management find out the hard way. It is a cutthroat environment currently.

Big company with lots of opportunity

Mechanical Systems Engineer (Current Employee) - Ridley Park, PA - November 20, 2023

It's a great place to work. Keep in mind it's a huge company, so the culture, work, management, and processes can differ a lot depending on where you work. I've worked with great people across multiple sites. Work-life balance is great, with lots of flexibility. Benefits are great, especially 401k matching and tuition reimbursement. Only cons are slow promotions. You really need to advocate for yourself and prove your worth. The company's tools and processes can be clunky and disfunctional.

Pros

Benefits, flexibility

Cons

Bureaucratic, slow moving company

Great company

Engineering Manager (Current Employee) - Washington State - November 19, 2023

Unhealthy environment.

Manager (Former Employee) - Oklahoma City, OK - November 19, 2023

If you want to work at a place that rivals most JR. High schools for unnecessary drama then this is the place to be. In my thirty five years I have never seen anything like it. Boeing is great to cater to the self entitled. Poor unqualified managers who only are there as a stepping stone to something better. It’s not at all professional. You been warned….best of luck.

Pros

Kind of do whatever you want.

Cons

Others will do whatever they want and it will negatively affect you and your mission.

Management stinks it’s like a high school all over again only with younger children.

Interior fabrication and assembly C (Former Employee) - Everett, WA - November 19, 2023

Management is the worst does not matter if your right or wrong who ever screens louder wins. Plus’s they don’t care at all about their people. Don’t get caught up in the money not worth it. Benifits are good people have no idea managers become managers if you have a family member who’s above you or your friends with management.

Pros

Benefits

Cons

Management

Good Work Life Balance but bureaucratic and slow

Manufacturing Engineer (Former Employee) - Tukwila, WA - November 18, 2023

Overall a good place to work in terms of benefits and work life balance, but in my experience the work was dull and the bureaucracy frustrating. My team and the people in general were great, I had great support, but I had few opportunities to do "real" engineering or own products from cradle to grave.
