Boeing Methods Process Analyst I reviews

The culture is not always receptive to change. Sometimes its also difficult to get management on the same page. The Methods Process Analyst job classification is not much like what its actually described as in the job description. Industrial Engineers and Methods Process Analysts are often viewed in secretarial rolls. I have experienced this in three different MBU's within Boeing.

Sometimes not a great work/life balance. Despite all of our "lean+" talk and the fact that we have "lean practitioners," the company culture isn't geared towards willingly improving the way we do things. No one actually seems to be happy at work; everyone complains constantly about how disorganized things are but very few people are proactive and try to solve problems. On many levels, there is disorganization and a lack of communication. Rather than enforcing established processes for production that make sense, things always somehow drop in "hot" and no one communicates until something is overdue. So we often find ourselves needlessly chasing our tails. It's not particularly easy to change job codes once you're hired in. Transfers to the same title seem to be the norm, and promotion to different job levels is based more on time spent in the title than actual experience or ability.
