Boeing

Good work-life balance. In Southern California, we have a 9/80 work schedule.

Good benefits packages compared to competitors.

Substantial tuition reimbursement program that offers $25,000 per year for master's degree programs.

Fluidity to move between departments based on your interests.

Employee diversity is improving – not great, but getting there.

For clarity, I work on the El Segundo campus.

Too many needlessly arduous design processes.

Culture to analyze everything 'til it's dead rather than focusing on real risk issues.

Some instances of old boy favoritism, but that's hard to avoid in the aerospace/defense industry.

Look for ways to make processes leaner to improve quality and cost, rather than bogging down engineers with low-impact busy work. Work smarter, not harder.
