Boeing a nice place to work.

Business Outlook

Pros

Not much overtime. Great people. Friendly environment. Boeing can be relaxing and stressful at times, which is good because usually after a window of working really hard you have to relax. It is a job that you could quite possibly work at until you are 70 years old. They don't have to seem to have a problem with people taking time off.

Cons

Work can be tedious or boring at times. Sometimes the simplest tasks won't be handled for months, people work really slow. New hires seem to sit for months are neglected, which makes them bored and uneasy.

Boeing - great benefits, no incentive to work.

Business Outlook

Pros

If you work to live, than Boeing is a great place to be. Flex time, working from home, are all available to employees. Vacation and sick time can be used with little to no advance notice at any time. Benefits package is AWESOME. 401k matching, FREE health care . . . great for a family. Free tuition for those wanting to get higher education.

Cons

Incentives for you to work hard are almost non existent. A bad engineer can work there for 20 years, get a parking spot, and make 100k. A great engineer will work there for 20 years, get a parking spot, and make 110k. Promotions are based off time and grade, not how hard you work or your personal performance. Boeing also doesn't do a lot of engineering but systems integration. If you are looking to work with and develop leading technology, Boeing is not for you.

Boeing is bloated with too much management

Business Outlook

Pros

Boeing will pay for your education regardless of the type of class you want to take. It just needs to be at an accredited university. Most of the engineers are nice people who just want to be challenged.

Cons

Its a big company, thus there is a lot of politics. If you have good hair, tall and speak well you can go far in this company. Also there is a lot of wasted time spent on the latest management ideas such as lean, CMI training, and leadership training. They really all are a waste of time and would be better if they were eliminated.
