Boeing is bloated with too much management

Software engineer

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.

Strong company with good benefits, but a bit BIG.

Pros

Benefits. Free health care and tuition reimbursement for any class you want to take. This is unmatched elsewhere. Strong company, because they have a strong footprint in both the defense and commercial industries. Therefore, in terms of job security, there is always work to do. Also, job mobility is very flexible. When you get bored of a project, there are a ton of other groups that are willing to take you on for different projects. Easy to move around horizontally at least.

Cons

BIG company. When you work on something so large like the 787, it is hard to see what exactly you just contributed to the project. Sometimes, you feel like just another number.

Pros

It's a large company with a wide array of opportunities. If you're dissatisfied with your current job, you can almost always accept a job posting with a different group.

Cons

It's a large company so it can be difficult to make a "huge impact." People can feel lost in large organizations.
