Boeing Integrated Defense Systems Reviews

Pros

Interesting work. Rewarded for hard work. Direct management is great to work for

Cons

Boeing does not get rid of lazy or uninterested workers. You have to do your work and their work too. Boeing does not seem very capable of attracting new work or business growth opportunities.

Pros

Definitely the benefits are top notch. Pay was pretty good considering the job. Fellow co-workers and management were generally caring and supportive. For those who enjoy a teaming environment, it's one of the better places to work. Excellent educational benefits (paid in full in critical business areas).

Cons

Slow promotions and career advancements were either not clearly defined, not managed properly or not in place at all. Sometimes work can be slow and have to fight motivation to stay busy

Advice to Senior Management

Recognition of employees achievements and abilities would provide a lot of motivation and encouragement. Too much red tape in many areas that slow work to a crawl sometimes. Overall better support of employees' desires to "climb the corporate ladder" needs to be made clear and understood. The company promotes "One Boeing" concept when in fact each location has completely different policies or policies are enforced differently.

Pros

Pay, benefits and future opportunity!

Cons

So big that change is difficult

Advice to Senior Management

Win competitions

Pros

Employee benefits can't be beat! Fair salaries, amount of paid time off, and flexible schedules.

Cons

Comes with many of the headaches commonly associated with a very large corporation.

Advice to Senior Management

Many employees never have an opportunity to meet the customer but would like to know how the customer views the products that we have helped to develop. Please don't forget to provide us with feedback, both good and bad!

Pros

The benefits package is very impressive to include bonuses, stock options, and tuition reimbursement.

Cons

This is a great company to work for... if you don't value a company that believes in their people. It is very frustrating to be jerked around and blatantly lied too. Rumor mill. Almost impossible to believe this company is still in business!

Advice to Senior Management

Concentrate on putting your people first. Happy people will do a much better job and provide much higher quality work.

Pros

Get to work with some of the best and brightest and get to contribute to national security

Management is more interested in compensation goals that national programs success

Get IT management that is committed to program success

Pros

The opportunities to learn new things and expand anyone's technical abilities are limitless. Lots of opportunities to advance to new roles or even cross functional roles.

Older generational workforce, which may be unappealing to a younger workforce.
