Boeing

It truly is a great company to work for, but there are many other great companies to work for across the country.

My advice would be not to move across the country or out of your home state if where you currently live already has a bunch of good companies to work for.

The pay is really no significant amount more than you would get paid if you stayed in your home state. Promotions are very slow here.

Seattle is very expensive (unless you live in an area no one would really want to live), so you will not be able to save a significant amount of money and eventually buy a house or save for significant life goals.

The 401k is definitely well above the average.

You will meet friends that work at Amazon/Microsoft making, in some cases, double you're making, and it will make you want to get out of the Seattle area or transfer jobs.

I just feel that many people really want to work for this company, but don't ever realize it's not that special compared to other companies.

If your goals are what I mentioned earlier, I would stay away. But if you truly love airplanes and don't mind the delay of savings, then there is plenty of opportunity within the company.

You will 100% have fun, and the people you will work with are good, but just think long and hard about it.

Talk with your newer employees more often.

Have 1:1 meetings with them.

Make them feel like they shouldn't want to leave the company.
