Boeing Reviews

Current Employee – been working at Boeing full-time for more than 3 years

Pros – Tons of opportunities, awesome programs for development, great mentors

Cons – Huge company causes tons of bureaucracy and politics, is easy to get lost in the shuffle, slow moving up the ranks

Current Employee – been working at Boeing full-time for more than a year

Pros – Boeing is very large and diverse in terms of employment options. You can be an engineer, financial analyst, a manager, a mechanic, a safety guru, security, IT, you name it. Sometimes even cross over. There's a great deal of opportunity. Great work life balance as well.

Cons – Big business always has problems. It seems too bureaucratic and cumbersome in its processes and methodologies. Expect a lot of forms, regulations and signatures before anything actually happens.

Advice to Senior Management – End meaningless policy and metrics. Focus more on the core product and your employees. Try to slim excess Pro's and regulation.

Former Employee – worked at Boeing

Pros – Boeing is a great place for new engineers to grow and learn more about the aerospace industry. There is a lot of opportunity for growth as well - with a large number of employees eligible for retirement.

Cons – With no defined career advancement path, it can be difficult to grow within the same team you are working on. The best way to advance is to change jobs, which is not ideal for all employees.

Current Employee – been working at Boeing full-time for more than 10 years

Pros – Upward mobility, chances to move within the function all over the country and the world; market leading benefits. Initiatives to bring in the best and brightest engineering talent.

Cons – Low leadership, lack of management willingness to address poor performance, especially at the highest levels. Rather than solving leadership problems, we move them.

Advice to Senior Management – Instead of talking about personal accountability, demonstrate it. As an HR professional, I see that we don't always follow all of the rules that we make others follow, and it is disappointing.

Former Employee – worked at Boeing

Pros – Boeing treats all interns as new hires, so I received relocation money to move to Seattle for the summer, health insurance, etc... Manager and mentor gave decent amount of work but learned more from intern field trips and speaker series!

Cons – At such a large company, it was east to get lost in the shuffle since I was so temporary. Relocation was rough, also since only moving to Seattle for a summer.

Current Employee – been working at Boeing full-time for more than 8 years

Pros – Boeing has decent benefits and a great work/life balance can easily be found. Health care, paid time off, education, 401K matching are all great.

Cons – There are a lot of senior people in the company making room for advancement very limited. Often times decisions are made without input from the people doing the work.

Advice to Senior Management – Create more room for advancement and listen to your people.
