Boeing reviews

Hard to criticize a company that sees it's not competitive and makes the necessary changes! Ever since Craig Cooning came on board we have won lots of new business, delivered more satellites than any other manufacturer, and we appear to be safe from massive layoffs. I have seen other posts about the "gray beard" employees, but I'd submit that when I have engaged these experienced pros I have actually learned a thing or two, which helps me to do my job better. I have no issue at all with "seasoned" employees being on the payroll. Whenever we face a technical challenge it's the experience of the group that gets us back on track. They listen to me, and I listen to them. But let me correct something: Boeing Satellite Systems International is a small part of the main unit under Craig Cooing. He runs Boeing Space and Intelligence Systems, not Jim McNerney. McNerney is Boeing's CEO, i.e. Top Corporate Dog. In 18 months or so this satellite unit has brought in at least $3B in new business. If you want stability and the chance to learn from the masters, this is the place to work. Is it Dreamworks? No. It's a defense company. But we hear often from our military customers about the differences our products make in saving lives and I for one am proud of the work I do.
