Boeing

Boeing is one of the industrial leaders in the commercial airplane and defense sector.

There are opportunities to work on the latest and most cutting-edge technologies up to date.

Also, if you don't like your position, there are tons of others that you can transfer to within the company.

Since there is an employee union (SPEEA), it is almost impossible to get fired (not all engineers are part of the union; this depends on the location).

The union negotiates a competitive salary and benefits package for the employees.

It is a pretty safe and secure job if all you want is to get paid.

Since the company is so big, it's really hard to stand out or make a difference within the company/group/division, etc. The company is old and has its built-in culture and bureaucracy that will never go away. It is very hard to change things for the better.

A new employee starts with:

• 80 hours of paid vacation for the first 5 years
• 120 hours of paid vacation for 5-16 years
• 160 hours of paid vacation after 16 years

The company always tries to take away or reduce benefits from the employees.

The food offered at the Boeing cafeterias is awful, expensive, and unhealthy.

Recognize your employees and reward them for achievements to raise morale.

Don't be afraid of making changes.

Stress individuality and challenge your employees.
