Working at Boeing in Tukwila, WA: 13 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Tukwila, WA Area

"Having worked for Boeing for nearly 8 years, I can say that local management is fantastic and the people I work with are top-notch. The work life balance is good, as management typically respects the 40 hour work week. Career advancement can be slow, as most of the time you're waiting for someone to leave a position so you can take it. Also, the workplace environment is extremely old. They're working on updating the aesthetics, but it's a slow process as well."

"It has good days and bad days within the company culture."

"Boeing is a great place to work! Good pay, benefits, union, etc. The people are top-notch too! You’ll never be bored!"

"Belcan is a great contractor that employees students (and recent graduates) with companies like Boeing to get them connected and experience throughout the 3 months that I was employed with them. Overall, I enjoyed the experience and I highly recommend connecting with the company and my former supervisors."

"Challenging, but worth it to be part of a large corporation."

"I've been with Boeing for over 1 year now. The company offers a lot for its employees in terms of benefits and job opportunities, however there is far too much micromanagement. As with any big company, there's too little work for too many people."

"This was by far the best job I've ever had: my coworkers were wonderfully dedicated and helpful; the work was well-defined; the boss was dedicated and helpful without micromanaging; the salary was good. Another Boeing position I had was not nearly aa good, so I should disclaim my comments that IPM was wonderful."

"I worked for the company since 1994, as a technical publications writer, editor, lead, responsible for data coordinator, approval and publishing release.My coworkers were and are the most responsible and experienced people that I know within the aircraft structural repair publications business.They are great to work with and a joy to be around."
