"Boeing is a great place to get started in your career. The challenges and problems you’ll be asked to solve can be great. But with any very large company, there is significant bureaucracy and career growth can be slow."

"Good place to work but a bit too large to feel like your work is valued."

"I have worked for beoing for 6 years. It is a great company that allow you to enhance your skill set and allow you to grow."

"I've worked at Boeing since late 2018. The office that we work in is incredibly old, and is a massive, depressing cube farm. The company is old and is riddled with red tape and bureaucracy; many teams struggle to get the necessary tools to do their job correctly. My role as a DSP engineer consisted of creating models in Simulink and verification scripts in MATLAB for 8-9 hours a day, along with various meetings. All of my work had to adhere to specific requirements flowed down from a separate team. As a hardware design engineer, I was surprised and disappointed to find out that my team hardly ever gets to perform testing on the actual hardware; we only get to deal with simulations of our subsystem models (in Simulink)."

"The Boeing Company is a great place to work; the company offers various benefits, a variety of work in many disciplines. My only complaint with it is the work environment; I don't feel like I have as big as an impact as I can and at times the progress feels slower than what I am capable of. I like to work dilligently but prefer an environment where things happen a little faster and where I can make a bigger impact whether that may be coding or helping others."

"I have worked for Boeing since 2001. That is when Boeing bought Hughes Space and Communications. Boeing will do whatever it takes to save money. They will use employees and their expertise until they reach a salary that is deemed too high. Then they will layoff and replace these employees with new college hires that they can pay less."

"I have worked at a couple large aerospace companies and Boeing is one of the best. The resources, learning opportunities, and job growth are all there. The atmosphere can be a little negative at times due to the constant changes in the industry, but overall it is a great place to be a mechanical engineer."

"Boeing was a good Company to work for, and I have been very happy with my job for the entire duration of my employment."

"I worked for BOEING (Heritage Hughes Space Communications Group) for 28 years. Work at El Segundo site was excellent. For past 2 years BOEING was moving all IT jobs away from southern California. Working environment for IT employees in southern California is not very good."

"Boeing is a good company to work for. However, it may be somewhat bureaucratic at times."

"I worked for BSS for just over 5 years, before being laid off. In general, I was pretty happy with the job, the work, and my coworkers and supervisors. My biggest complaint was lack of opportunities and support to advance or transfer laterally."
