Worst first line managers

Pros

Good work life balance Encouraging support from US teams

Cons

Managers are like delving here - your first line manager treats employees literally like slaves. If you are okay as yes madam for everything, then you are good and can prosper OR be ready to waste your career or even your life.

Pros

- Ability to move to different positions in many locations around the Seattle area or the country - High levels of stability - Consistent pay - Good 401k - Lots of training opportunities and payment for extended education - You can go into areas with airplanes - Healthcare options are good

Cons

- The anti-pattern of a software company, it is waterfall through and through - Anyone that could lie well enough could get a software development job (because this has happened many times) - Massive slow bureaucracy and process - Innovation and creativity is shut down - A large amount of non-development work before you can potentially do work - Pay is less than other software jobs by a third or more - Any promise of being able to do interesting work is likely a lie - Your career will wither and die if you stay longer than three years - Your skills will likely atrophy while you work at Boeing - Heavy political environment results in fighting other people for work - Treats contractors less human than normal employees

Pros

The money and benefits are fantastic. The opportunity for Overtime is way above average. My base wage without overtime was about $85K/yr with overtime I made over $125K for 3 years.

Cons

It is loud and messy. Non-stop micromanagement. Employees, for the most part, are hardworking, but they don't get along. It is nearly impossible to get rid of toxic co-workers. Most management only cares about numbers.
