Advice to Senior Management

improve the business management

Pros

Interesting technology development activities with the possibility of a decade of challenging work for engineers and technicians.

Cons

Boeing seems unable to deliver successful programs on time or on budget. This leads to a stressful environment for workers and management both. While the Boeing Company has success stories in the field of Commercial and Military Aircraft development, they have had a mixed history in satellite and space systems. When Boeing aquired Hughes Satellite Systems and Rockwell (formerly Ford Aerospace) they never developed a management strategy that leveraged the talents of these companies that were among the best in satellite and space systems development from decades passed.

Advice to Senior Management

Learn to leverage the skills that exist at Boeing Satellite Systems to improve competitiveness and sucess while retaining the technical edge that existed in the 70's, 80's and 90's.

Pros

some good engineering practices to learn from, educational benefits are the best, above average general benefits

Cons

no longer believe in engineering design, an integrator that doesn't know how to manage subcontractors, inability to win contracts

Advice to Senior Management

make a firm decision on the direction to go. we are either a system integrator, with no design expertise, or trust your engineers and allow them to design instead of looking to outsource as the first option and fail miserably before sending engineers to do the redesign. As is, Boeing Satellite has no identity.
