Pros

The pay is great, and the annual bonus and raises make it worth staying. The benefits are above average. If you're looking for a place to work for 30, 40, or 50 years then retire, then Boeing is a good place for that.

Cons

If you're looking to be challenged and recognized for your individual contribution to the company, then this company is not the place for you.

The company crams daily propaganda from every direction to get everyone "drinking the kool-aid".

Too many layers of management, making it inefficient and wasteful.

1960's technologies with little innovation.

The cookie-cutter performance reviews make it difficult to get any recognition.

They go through 1st level managers like a revolving door.

I had 7 different managers in one year.

Company pushes Ethics hard, but the biggest worry is the senior management team and their political agenda with squeezing tax dollars out of the American people.

The culture is very robotic and boring.

The paid time off is the worst package I've experienced in my 20-year career.

Very little vacation time to enjoy life or spend time with family.

Advice to Management

Tone down the military culture and loosen up a bit.

Organize the training programs for engineers and get rid of the 70's/80's culture.

The Puget Sound facilities are falling apart.

Invest more profits into R&D.

More paid vacation time!
