Management Should Pay attention to Boeing

Engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great coworkers Interesting products PTO and 401K match are OK

Cons

Very sub-market raises as RTX seeks to be average with its salaries No consideration for 20% inflation over the last 4 years. Executives getting very large increases (40-100%). Big stock buybacks which also benefits executives. Cutbacks in spending and investment to prop up cash flow used to buy back stock. As a result product cycles are impacted, innovation is stifled, and middle management keeps head down for fear of being cut like previous good managers and directors. Replacement managers are chosen to prop up HR metrics but are not knowledgeable, innovative, or effective. These actions will result in the same situation Boeing finds itself.

Just a below average place without the Remote/Hybrid Flexibility

Principal systems engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- Decent pay -Decent benefits -Decent coworkers

Cons

- Hybrid/Remote/Work Schedule Flexibility is almost gone following Phil's emails to "Return to Office." - Other top-ranking defense companies pay a tad bit better than Raytheon. The attrition rate is very high in some departments in the Tucson area. - Promotion is hard to come by for internal employees. - This is highly dependent on the department, but some managers/ heads are ceremoniously appointed to fill some positions; they are not helpful in any shape or form to the progress of the products/deliverables we work on. I am not trying to be racist by calling some of these individuals "DEI hires," as there are good managers/leaders irrespective of backgrounds, but some are sub-par in terms of communications and writing skills required for a leader. -Like any other large organization, Raytheon has problems with favoritism and politics. However, that is highly dependent on one's immediate team.
