Boeing reviews

Biggest con is the guaranteed low pay (their formula is halfway between low and market), especially for engineers and skilled people that could make WAY more at performance-based companies. They are constantly trying to chip further at this low salary and strip benefits. My friend on Obamacare gets better insurance for free than I did paying for a premium Boeing medical plan, must be all those aging boomers jacking up the price for small minority of genx and millenial workers. I was told outdated information by the HR recruiters (if they tell you it's possible to get free higher education it's no longer the case), felt like a bait and switch. The company suffers from a constant promotion and wage freeze and minimal (almost insulting) "EIP bonus". Team members that have adapted to laziness because their first level manager has zero expectations for them, I had mates who took 2-3 hours to respond IMs and emails while they were WFH. Buildings are old, drab, depressing and kitchens bathrooms etc can get downright filthy. In the Bellevue campus you can reportedly get cancer from drinking the water (it used to be built on a dump or airport or something) so take care of yourself. If you absolutely need to put food on the table, consider this place but for goodness sake don't stay here too long or the culture will infect you to the point you are unhirable anywhere else.

No point in being a top performer here, there's no bonus incentives, salary incentives give you maybe a 1% bump for being a top performer Groups are almost all stingy about giving out even the smallest reward for going above and beyond. A typical big reward is 100 bucks worth of "pride points" which you can get something like a best buy gift card with I have worked with many groups in my job and this problem is consistent with 20+ groups I have talked to Salaries are almost always well below the median level like 80% of industry median for the 4 years I have been here and that's with getting 3 promotions Only 1 out of every 10 people is technical in IT so you will waste time reporting all your work to you 3 pms, 2 managers, 3 functional analysts, and a customer They don't care how much you work to improve yourself outside of work, this company is entirely about years of experience
