Like the actual work, but too many barriers. Misplaced recognition, some Sr Leaders out of touch. - Anonymous employee Boeing Employee Review

Pros

We are great at building big things, we are leaders in the system engineering process. Good to work with smart engineers.

Cons

Too much clock watching, to much bureaucracy and overhead. Sr Leaders beat on managers to be 'LEAN' but continually protect their own domains of inefficiencies . Favoritism so that hard work and results not enough, have to 'look good' and know people.

Pros

Easy going, nice benefits, free further education (masters/PhD). Great for an engineer starting out who needs to dip their feet in the pool of engineering for a few years and to get a great 401(k) match at the start of your career (compounding growth). Great for late stage career due to the benefits and solid enough pay in a low cost of living area

Cons

pay-scale lagging, no emphasis on learning new things, no punishment for people who are bad at their job. After working for 4 years, I feel like I should have jumped ship after 2. I haven't been given meaningful work that really challenges me in a while. Now I feel pigeonholed into staying because I have enough years of experience that I really should be considered senior, but I haven't been given work that reflects what I senior engineer should be capable of. Now I'm trying to jump ship before it's really too late. If I stay here another 2 years I think I will be genuinely unemployable and will have to stay at this company forever.
