Pros

Where else in the world do you get to contribute to the design and engineering of some of the most complex pieces of machinery in existence? At Boeing, you have the opportunity to work on everything from software to spaceships, from nuts and bolts to entire airplanes. It is the best place I have ever worked.

Cons

Typical large company bureaucracies. Cost-cutting measures are starting to show in benefit reductions for non-union employees (benefits are still better than most of the world). There seems to be a short-sighted view of the world by senior executives.

High overtime was fine when we were compensated for it, but starting Jan 2014, managers will no longer get paid for more than 40 hours a week but are expected to work it. (I average 50 to 60 hours a week.)

Advice to Management

Fully fund programs up front and allow managers to staff to work. Statement: Do not arbitrarily cut 30% off budgets to meet arbitrary goals.
