Boeing reviews

Even though you have the option of moving within the company, you have to stay in your position for one year before you can actually transfer. Since it is the Aerospace and Defense market, it is difficult to make changes and once changes are approved they take a lot of time and pacience to see the results. Also, you might encounter old "traditional" ways "to do things" and experience some resistance, but with the right way to present them there is no doubt changes could be made. Also some of the hours of work might be hard to adjust, like the 5:30 am to 2:00 pm. Waking up that early is hard to most people but leaving at 2 is nice since you have the afternoon to accomplish things.

The downsides are very minimal. Personally its gaining experience/ time with the company to be able to move to other job opportunities within. But thats competition within the company and employees. This helps to strive to be the best you can be at your job. Other downsides can include a lot of overtime, though the company counters with great pay (time-in-a-half/double time) it can be hard on families and even personal time away from work. Unexpected lay-offs always loom over Boeing's reputation. Seniority is also very big with Boeing, but from witnessing seems to be more of a qualifying term to other job opportunities then someone who has maybe has less time and more experience or even better qualified. ( These mainly pertain to production Manufacturing jobs then others within Boeing.)
