Pros

There are many resources at the disposal of the engineer to properly execute his or her job functions. While it might be a little tedious in terms of making sure the paperwork is properly in order when making a design change, this is the case with all federal suppliers. It really isn't a drawback specifically against Boeing.

Interoffice politics seems to be on the normal side for a company of this size. And of course, the main reason people decide on working at a large company like Boeing is the opportunities for training, education, and career advancement, which Boeing takes care of.

Cons

Sometimes projects drag on and lack enthusiasm.

Advice to Management

Do a better job of motivating your workers. Look at GM. They went from making ho-hum cars to making rather exciting machines that capture the enthusiasm of their customers, all this from the same engineers, just a strategic change in corporate philosophy.
