Comfortably stuck...

Engineering manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The people are great as are the customers. Comfortable surroundings and great So Cal weather. The benefits are OK although the medical benefits have been declining.

Cons

Large bureaucracy makes it hard to get things done. Too many approvals and change board meetings required to accomplish tasks with any rapidity. Little company interest in investing in ideas unless you work in R&D. Aircraft programs are declining in Long Beach (we'll never get a new one), so the future for young folks that want to spend their careers here are about zilch. Everyone is hoping to hold on until retirement. Not exactly a bright prospect for a motivated work force. Survival of the fittest is coming soon to a cubicle near you!

Pros

Compensation and Benefits are okay for the Seattle area. Boeing rewards education by reimbursing for tuition, etc. And when you get a degree Boeing awards stock.

Cons

Recognition is given sporadically. Management does not treat employees with respect, and treats competent employees just the same as incompetent or lazy employees. All action is taken to prevent litigation rather than to enhance the quality of the workforce - for example, the structured interview. The few managers who respect their employees and give their employees the freedom to excel at work, and who are therefore the popular managers, are ostracized by other managers.
