About Boeing
What is Boeing?
The Boeing Company (NYSE: BA) is one of the world's largest aerospace and defense manufacturers, founded in Seattle in 1916 and headquartered today in Arlington, Virginia. The careers home pitches the work plainly: "Join us and together, we'll do work that changes the world." Boeing's portfolio spans commercial aircraft (737, 777, 787 widebody), defense and space systems (including the F-15 line out of St. Louis and advanced satellite work in El Segundo for the U.S. Space Force), and global services.
Boeing was recognised on the 2026 LinkedIn Top Companies List in the United States — and the company highlights this with verbatim emphasis on "providing Team Boeing with career development opportunities and offering the best benefits in aerospace – including generous tuition assistance and a best-in-class 401(k) plan."
Where will I work?
Boeing's largest engineering and manufacturing campuses are in the Puget Sound region (the Day 1 building and surrounding facilities), El Segundo (satellite and space systems), St. Louis (F-15 and advanced defense), Charleston (787 widebody manufacturing) and Arlington (corporate HQ). On the careers page for California, the company writes: "your work/life balance with many of our teams participating in a 9/80 workweek where available." The 9/80 schedule consists of 9-hour shifts, 8 days per pay period, with every other Friday off.
What is the Boeing team like?
Boeing employs approximately 92,800 people across engineering, manufacturing, business, cybersecurity, data science and IT. The careers home profiles named #TeamBoeing members — including former interns turned engineers like Abbey Carlson and systems-engineering managers like Dama — and the Veteran Talent Community and Career SkillBridge Program reflect the company's deep ties to military transitions.
Work-Life Balance
The 9/80 schedule is the headline work-life benefit, available "where available" on participating teams. Boeing employees receive 4+ weeks of paid time off plus 12–14 paid holidays, including a Winter Break from Christmas to New Year's. The Spring Health EAP — Boeing's mental-health benefit — provides each member (age 6+) "up to 10 free counseling sessions per year and up to 10 coaching sessions per year," supplemented by Total Brain and Vida Health for medically-enrolled employees.
