Pros

1. Good Pay. 2. Most of the projects gives you a chance to challenge your self and innovate. 3. You can see the effect of your work 4. True work life balance, unlike some companies where work life balance means no work only life. 5. Good HR practices 6. Group insurance, Personal Accident Insurance, Life insurance 7. Gym Reimbursement. 8. rewards and recognition, your work will be noticed by higher management. 9. I was interviewed both at boeing and airbus. I have chosen boeing, because of the first impression.

Cons

1. Some project has nothing to do but only support. 2. Cafeteria could have been better when other companies gives buffet kind of options in lunch, Boeing Bangalore don't have a good vendor it self. 3. All policies are there, but not competitive. For example, cab facility is there but monthly charges are 3500. In that money i can go by ola or uber for one month. At least ola or uber will pick u up from home.

Pros

1. Competitive salary package if negotiated well if hiring takes place in the last quarter of the year ( Oct to Dec). 2. Ample time to pursue personal hobbies during office hours. 3. Office timings are flexible since there is no deliverables as such. 4. If one is good at backstabbing and spineless, excellent place to grow without any skills.

Cons

1. The headcount increase is driven by a legal India government requirement so there was no plan nor intention to get work to India location. 2. Regional politics by managers is more since the hiring is influenced heavily from the start in order to bring their own people from previous companies so chances of a fair opportunity to prove oneself is very less. 3. Managerial competence is near zero since many of the hired managers were let go from their previous organizations. There are few good managers but that is lost in the overall incompetence of the crowd. These let go managers focus to save their job and nepotism is widespread if you are also from specific place.

Pros

Good, friendly people, that’s about it I’m afraid.

Cons

Depends on which team you are in and which business unit. The US side of the business is totally different. I have found the culture in the UK to be one of fear of loosing your job, 3 rounds of redundancy in the past 12 months. Lack of direction from the leadership team, who appear in experienced in growing a business and how to prevent further redundancies. Everything is driven by cost and not what is always right for the customers. Constantly feel like you are under the microscope in terms of time keeping and what you are working on, (depends on which team you are in) and not although working from home is possible it’s frowned upon by the old guard. Often giving you mundane tasks to do as they react to request from another manager rather than challenge and understand the value. Don’t often listen to the experience, qualification and knowledge of the work force, they think they have the answers. Leadership ask for openness and honesty but if you raise anything you are shot down and they don’t like to hear it. Leadership team need to lead by example.
