Good salary boring Boeing company

Business Outlook

Pros

Salary was above average as was bonus package and 401k and medical benefits.

Cons

Often abusive middle and upper management. First line were generally good people and competent. Company lacks vision and inspiration. Work, life balance often sacrificed for stupid reasons, nothing to do with creating product everything to do with Exec management ego. Career opportunities for young people, a good place to start but not to finish.

Business Outlook

Pros

Some groups support mentoring program. Some opportunities exist for training. Some good and smart people.

Cons

Old tools. Terrible processes. Bad Morale. Political environment. Indecisive management. Complicated contracts with the customer. Bosses are managers, not leaders. Wrong skillsets hired. IT SOE is buggy. Doesn't leverage Boeing USA services. Lipservice to values. Management undercut engineering estimates and projects run over. No paid overtime. Starting to lean a bit too left-wing/PC with their social campaigns. Organisational changes happen regularly. Lack of clear responsibility (RAA). Slackers can hide. Poorly implemented performance management.
