Working at Boeing in Renton, WA: 28 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Renton, WA Area

"I have worked with Boeing for 17 years at different levels. At my last job, I led the consolidation of two business segments from four different cities (Chicago, St Louis, Renton and Huntington Beach) to one location. Due to numerous process improvements, streamlining, automation, and working with various functions to group similar expertise, my team was able to do more for less. My team size changed from 18 people and 4 cities to 10 people and 1 location. I also took additional tasks from a group that was eliminated."

"I've worked at Boeing for 2 years. I have found it to be a great place for work-life balance but not so for career progress or technical achievement."

"Boeing is a good company to work for"

"I worked for Boeing for 23 years as a Facilities Planner, Project Manager, and Auto CAD Drafter. Very good and supportive company with growth potential and training."

"I worked for US Tech Solutions/Boeing on 2 separate contract jobs. Great temp agency and very friendly and extremely helpful. I would work for this agency again. I loved the organization and people I worked with and supported. We all worked as a team and supported each other in times of need."

"Boeing is an excellent company and having the opportunity to work at this 100 year plus company and Icon of American Industry was the best opportunity one could aspire to have. They invested so much in me as an employee I am profoundly grateful. Everything I learned there, every skill, will yield many dividends to any future employer."

"Great overall company to work for, you will learn a lot on the job."

"The pay and benefits are well beyond the competition. The Iam751 machinists union does a wonderful job advocating for its members the environment gets a little stressful at times but that is expected. The safety and lean manufacturing are the staples of how Boeing/union operate. The company has some top-notch talent and some really smart people calling the shots up the ladder. I hope this helps"

"I've been working for Boeing as a consultant since 2018 and its strong and supported company for employees."

"Boeing has a great worklife balance perfect for those with a family, everyone is also very friendly. The downside to the company is that everything is down fairly slowly and nothing seems to be urgent. The non-aerospace technologies tend to be more outdated and software processes are not up to par compared to other industries."

"It is a high paying job with good benefits but it has a culture issue. It’s not a bad company to work for but it needs some work from upper management."

"Good collaboration and communication. Process heavy due to scale. Emphasis on due diligence and process improvement."

"A great company to work with."

"Boeing pays well, but your quality of work-life will depend heavily on your work assignment and your manager. Much of the middle management (2nd level to the director) are disconnected from their teams and stuck in 20-30 hours of unproductive meetings per week. Additionally, advances in management are, despite having “competitive” interviews, dependent on who you know. The vast majority of senior management promotions are picked before the interview process, making that process a waste of time and a sham. Yet, due to many great people at the contributor level, airplanes still get built."

"Morale and company management drive out many employees. The pay and benefits are hard to match. There is plenty of room to grow and move up but the relationship between employees and management is toxic. The company has become a revolving door that looks at the employees as numbers instead of team members. Boeing is still a good company to work for but they need some serious changes."
