Boeing

10% 401K matching.

No tuition limit on STEM majors.

Except for Master's degrees, employees are not required to pay back time to the company for having paid their tuition. This includes graduate certificates.

Good health, dental, and vision benefits – unless you are young and healthy, then they are a little pricey.

HSA account offered.

Networking opportunities are endless, including conferences, groups/clubs, organizations, and employee engagement events every month.

Salary is very competitive, especially for those employed in Missouri, as the cost of living is much cheaper than at other Boeing sites.

Like many companies, Boeing has felt the impact of COVID-19, the Great Resignation, and supply chain interruptions. Therefore, the culture, the hiring process, and opportunities for career growth within the company have suffered.

Due to new projects and factors outside of Boeing's control, Boeing has been experiencing a lot of turnover. Therefore, Boeing now requires its employees to remain within a role for at least 18 months before moving to a new role, unless they have an exception or manager approval.

So, instead of:

• Improving how they find quality candidates
• Providing accurate descriptions of the duties and responsibilities of the role
• Interviewing with the manager they would be reporting to
• Offering in-person interviews for the opportunity to meet potential teammates

Employees are forced to stay in a role they may not have been able to accurately vet before accepting an offer for.

In my experience, I've noticed that there is no audit on the auditors. Meaning, no one is sustaining standard practices such as performance reviews. Everyone usually receives 'meets expectations' on paper, even if they performed exceedingly for the year in reality.

There aren't tailored opportunities for education and/or career development, or a set strategy for helping employees improve their skills to align themselves with their appropriate level and know where they need to improve to move to the next level.

Improve/overhaul the current hiring process.

Dedicated personnel to ensure standard practices are being sustained and adequately transitioned to the next employee.

Remove the 18-month stay-in-your-role requirement.

Read the book 'Good to Great' by Jim Collins. Start getting comfortable with brutal facts. That Boeing is a decent company, but it can be a great one, again.
