Boeing Work Experiences

Not a good place to work

Engineering • Current Employee

Seattle, Washington, United States

Pros: They call Boeing the "Lazy B." Good place for those who are unqualified and lazy.

Cons: Undemocratic, top-down, military-style hierarchy. The employees are basically beaten down, the unions are broken, and the workers have no power or control. The benefits are reduced every year, and work is being shipped overseas while foreign workers are imported. The environment is horrible: cramped cubbies, no expectation of privacy. Come here if you are happy being a slave to the corporate executives. You will be replaced soon and as cheaply as possible.

Great company, but IT leadership, capabilities, and opportunities seem to be on the decline

Seattle, Washington, United States

Pros: Competitive pay and benefits. Nice people. Cool products.

Cons: Large bureaucratic company, dependent on seniority-based hierarchies. Currently, limited opportunities for advancement and growth. Skill set expectations set to the lowest common denominator. IT management sourced from engineering and manufacturing, limited in skill and knowledge with little formal IT training or experience. Virtual and telecommuting opportunities are disappearing. Forced relocations.
